Strengths
- “This is a happy, welcoming and inclusive school.”
- “The school’s vision, ‘growing together, learning forever’, is at the heart of all that it provides.”
- “The school provides many exciting experiences to ignite pupils’ enthusiasm for learning, for example trips to museums, the theatre and residential visits.”
To improve
- “However, occasionally, in some subjects, the activities that teachers provide for pupils do not help them to practise their skills and deepen their knowledge as well as they could.”
- “This restricts how well pupils are challenged or supported to achieve their potential.”
- “Occasionally, some pupils find it hard to manage their emotions.”
