Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to be part of the 'Boteler family'.”
- “They work well with each other and form positive relationships with staff.”
- “They benefit from a broad range of wider opportunities.”
To improve
- “While leaders' work to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils has not yet been reflected in national examinations, the quality of these pupils’ current work shows that improvements in curriculum and teaching are helping pupils to remember their learning more securely than in the past.”
- “Improvements to the rate of disadvantaged pupils' attendance have not yet matched leaders' ambitions.”
- “This is especially the case in lessons and largely true around the school, although occasionally pupils' behaviour is a little less settled outside of the classroom.”
