Strengths
- “Pupils happily embody the school values.”
- “They show perseverance, integrity, creativity and kindness in their exemplary behaviour and attitudes to learning.”
- “Pupils appreciate the wide range of extra-curricular activities on offer.”
To improve
- “In a very few subjects, these revised assessment processes are not used as well as they should be.”
- “This means that lesson activities do not always focus on the learning that pupils need to revisit and remember.”
