Strengths
- “Respect is at the heart of this school.”
- “Pupils live by the school’s values of respecting themselves, others and the environment.”
- “They learn well because they listen and participate considerately.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects this is not yet as refined as it could be.”
- “As a result, teaching sometimes focuses on activities for pupils to complete, rather than developing the knowledge they need.”
- “Therefore, pupils recall what they have done, but do not remember more over time.”
