Strengths
- “Leaders have high expectations for pupils and want them to do well.”
- “This ambition can be seen in the secondary phase, for example, through the rise in the proportion of pupils who are studying the subjects that make up the English Baccalaureate.”
- “George Mitchell School is calm and orderly, for example corridors are safe spaces, where pupils move quietly from one lesson to another.”
To improve
- “Leaders have rightly identified that secondaryage pupils would benefit from a wider range of clubs and activities.”
- “However, pupils’ progress in mathematics by the end of Year 6 was below average.”
- “While there is still work to do, teachers now explain and model concepts more effectively.”
