Strengths
- “The school’s vision for pupils to develop compassion and selflessness is exemplified with ‘Through love, serve one another’.”
- “Pupils demonstrate care for others during social times through their esteemed ambassador roles.”
- “Collaboration during projects between year groups helps pupils get to know each other well.”
To improve
- “In a minority of subjects, however, the knowledge of how a subject is studied and the concepts that pupils need to learn about at each stage are not sequenced as well.”
- “This means some pupils cannot remember this knowledge as readily.”
- “However, in some subjects, assessment of pupils’ learning is not precise enough.”
