Strengths
- “This is a school where all staff want the very best for their pupils.”
- “They have high aspirations and promote the school’s values of ‘ambition, teamwork, honesty and kindness’.”
- “Pupils are polite and friendly.”
To improve
- “In 2022, pupils’ progress and attainment at the end of key stage 4 did not yet reflect the impact of the improvements leaders have made to the curriculum.”
- “However, there are times when expectations are not clear, so some pupils do not always complete tasks.”
- “There are some occasions when teachers do not use assessment purposefully enough to identify pupils’ misconceptions.”
