Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy school and attend well.”
- “They are proud to be in one of the four ‘federation houses’.”
- “This added dimension to school life enables pupils to work in teams and gain rewards for their positive work ethic and behaviour.”
To improve
- “Notably, the school’s work to increase the depth of subject content pupils will learn in a few subjects is still recent.”
- “As a result, in a few subjects a minority of pupils have gaps in their knowledge and understanding or they are not moved on in their learning when they are ready.”
- “However, there are occasions when the school is not adept at making important changes to teaching and the curriculum to directly address all aspects of pupils’ individualised targets.”
