Strengths
- “Pupils flourish in this vibrant school.”
- “High aspirations and high ambition are woven into the school's fabric.”
- “Former pupils' successes are celebrated around the building, alongside the successes of other notable people.”
To improve
- “However, a few pupils would benefit from more precise strategies to help them to overcome their specific barriers to learning.”
- “However, teachers do not always identify gaps and barriers in pupils' learning precisely enough, and so gaps in some pupils' knowledge are able to persist.”
- “However, for a very few pupils who have highly individual barriers to their learning, teachers' adaptations are not precise enough to give them the support that they need.”
