Strengths

- “This gives them confidence and they feel safe.”
- “Pupils are proud to attend this school.”
To improve
- “Although published outcomes at key stage 4 are below what is typical nationally, the school has taken decisive action to improve this.”
- “However, this has not had the positive impact on pupils’ reading habits that leaders intend, as many pupils do not read for enjoyment outside of school.”
- “However, a minority of pupils do not show a consistently positive attitude to their learning.”
