Strengths
- “Pupils and staff are proud to be part of this warm and caring school community.”
- “Pupils say the Christian values of ‘peace, compassion, community, perseverance, wonder and hope’ help them to understand how to be kind and considerate.”
- “The collective worship assemblies are a highlight.”
To improve
- “However, these are not consistently embedded across all subjects.”
- “That said, the information leaders give to teachers about how to support some pupils with SEND is not always as precise as it should be.”
- “This means these pupils do not always achieve quite as well as they might.”
