Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and safe in this vibrant school.”
- “The school’s ‘dragon values’ of kindness, responsibility, resilience, teamwork, challenge, independence and creativity are well understood by pupils.”
- “They are proud that these values guide them in school and beyond.”
To improve
- “However, occasionally, activities are not focused sharply enough on what pupils should learn, and they occasionally become confused or their attention drifts.”
- “Here, pupils do not learn as well as they could.”
- “While the school encourages disadvantaged pupils to take full advantage of the wide extra-curricular offer, currently, too few do.”
