Strengths

“This is a successful, well-led school, where pupils and staff flourish.”
“There is a warm, family atmosphere, where everyone ‘believes and achieves’ together.”
“Pupils say that the best thing about the school is the caring staff.”

To improve

“However, in a small number of foundation subjects, while pupils remember the activities in which they have engaged, they cannot always recall what they have learned.”
“The school is still embedding recent changes in these subjects so that, in future, pupils can make stronger connections between previous learning and new concepts and remember the important knowledge.”
