Strengths
- “Leaders are ambitious for every pupil to achieve highly in all subjects and the wider curriculum.”
- “These five values influence every aspect of school life.”
- “Leaders have ensured that pupils have a deep understanding of what they mean.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, the school’s well-planned curriculum has not yet led to the high attainment outcomes that leaders want.”
- “Some pupils do not remember the important things they need to know with a sufficient depth of understanding.”
- “This is because staff do not check precisely enough on how well pupils are doing during some lessons.”
