Strengths
- “Staff are ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
- “Pupils are inspired to work hard.”
- “They enjoy learning and thrive on being challenged.”
To improve
- “Prior to academisation, turbulence in leadership and staffing slowed work to improve the school.”
- “In some of these subjects, leaders have not precisely identified what they want pupils to learn.”
- “Consequently, teachers routinely check on pupils’ understanding during lessons, but they do not always check that the most important knowledge has been learned.”
