Strengths
- “Pupils and students are happy to be at Chancellor’s.”
- “They are kept safe and know that everybody has someone they can turn to if there is a problem or if they themselves are in trouble.”
- “Behaviour around the school site is good.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, time spent talking and writing reduces opportunities to develop the practical skills that are crucial to learning.”
- “The school's new approach to assessment in Years 7 to 9 is not used consistently.”
- “In some subjects, there is too much focus on how pupils will be assessed in GCSE examinations.”
