Strengths
- “This is a highly ambitious school.”
- “Leaders have a clear and strong vision for what they want pupils to achieve.”
- “All staff are united in this vision.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, pupils do not receive sufficient opportunities to deepen their understanding of the curriculum.”
- “As a result, few pupils meet the higher standard in their understanding of reading and mathematics by the end of key stage 2.”
