Strengths
- “Pupils rate their school as ‘ten out of ten’.”
- “Pupils say that their teachers are kind, that learning is fun and there is always help on hand.”
- “Skilled staff make sure that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), access the same high-quality learning.”
To improve
- “Very occasionally, some pupils with SEND find it hard to behave as well as the school expects.”
- “While the personal development programme has many strengths, some aspects could be improved further.”
- “However, there are currently too few opportunities for pupils to take on meaningful leadership roles within the school.”
