Strengths

- “They say that staff go out of their way to help them when they need it.”
- “Pupils say that the ‘STAR’ values of service, teamwork, ambition and respect create a community in which diversity is celebrated.”
To improve
- “However, teachers do not consistently use this to good effect.”
- “Teachers do not act on what pupils do not know consistently enough and this means that gaps build in some pupils’ knowledge.”
- “However, pupils are not routinely given the opportunity to extend and apply their knowledge in lessons.”
