Good Inspected 29 June 2022
Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to school here.”
- “They value the diversity of the school community and are very respectful to pupils from different backgrounds and with different abilities.”
- “Pupils benefit from a well-thought through curriculum from Year 7 through to the sixth form.”
To improve
- “Pupils generally conduct themselves very well, but occasionally some lessons are disrupted by poor behaviour.”
- “Sometimes, however, teachers do not adapt teaching activities so that they are suitable for the whole range of abilities in the classroom.”
- “This means that on occasion some pupils do not fully engage with their learning.”
