Strengths
- “Pupils’ behaviour in lessons and around the school is exemplary.”
- “They are welcoming and friendly members of the school community.”
- “Relationships between members of the school are grounded in mutual respect.”
To improve
- “However, some pupils do not access an equally rich set of experiences.”
- “Opportunities such as this, and others to develop pupils’ talents and interests, are not well used by some pupils.”
- “Other aspects, such as careers being linked into subject curriculums, are still being embedded.”
