Strengths

- “Pupils know and demonstrate the school’s values of ‘ambition, commitment and kindness’.”
- “They value the rewards they receive, including the ‘golden tickets’ for demonstrating the school values.”
To improve
- “Previous weaknesses in the school’s curriculum failed to prepare pupils well enough for their next stages in education, employment or training.”
