Strengths
- “With support from the trust, the current headteacher has worked effectively with staff to raise standards and ensure that Patchway Community School is a place where pupils want to be.”
- “Behaviour in lessons is calm and orderly.”
- “Much recent work has taken place to improve the quality of the curriculum, including the way in which it is delivered.”
To improve
- “Expectations of pupils’ conduct and what they can achieve have not been high enough.”
- “This means that older pupils have significant gaps in their knowledge and often lack confidence.”
- “Improvement work is in its early stages, so it has not had a consistently positive impact in some areas of the school.”
