Inadequate Inspected 27 February 2024
Strengths
- “The school has raised its expectations of what pupils can achieve.”
- “Supported by the trust, leaders have developed a broad and ambitious curriculum.”
- “The school also promotes pupils’ personal development effectively.”
To improve
- “However, despite high expectations, the school has struggled to establish a positive and respectful culture where all pupils thrive.”
- “While many pupils do meet the school’s high expectations, a significant minority of pupils show a lack of respect for both adults and their peers.”
- “They show negative attitudes to the value of good conduct and good behaviour.”
