Strengths
- “Pupils are openly proud of their school and what they describe as the ‘massive’ progress it has made of late.”
- “Their own progress in classrooms is also now clearly much better than it was in the past.”
- “Older pupils in particular have positive views about the many changes for the better in recent times.”
To improve
- “There is no doubt that the behaviour of some pupils got in the way of learning in the past.”
- “They also know that there is more work to do to secure their vision for the school and its pupils going forward.”
- “This is partly due to the school’s work to raise the profile of reading, which is beginning to bear fruit, though still needs time to embed.”
