Strengths
- “The school places no barriers on what pupils can achieve.”
- “It has high expectations for all pupils.”
- “Across the school, pupils live up to these expectations.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, the order that staff introduce key knowledge to pupils does not help them to learn as well as they could.”
- “Consequently, in these subjects, pupils do not remember enough of their learning over time.”
