Strengths
- “Bishop Ullathorne is a welcoming, caring school community.”
- “Pupils value the school’s ethos and it contributes to why so many have very good attendance.”
- “The school has high expectations and aspirations for pupils’ behaviour and learning.”
To improve
- “However, there is some variation in how well questioning is used in lessons.”
- “This means that pupils do not always acquire the depth of knowledge they are capable of.”
- “Most pupils and students achieve good examination results, but this is not always the case for disadvantaged pupils.”
