Strengths
- “Pupils flourish at this inclusive and welcoming school.”
- “The school’s motto of ‘value learning, value others and value ourselves’ is at the heart of everything the school does.”
- “There is a culture of high expectations for all.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, the school’s curriculum thinking does not always identify clearly the most important knowledge that pupils need to know and remember.”
- “This means that pupils do not have the same depth of knowledge and understanding they do in other subjects.”
- “In a few subjects, the school does not consider what assessment is telling them about what pupils know and need to learn next.”
