Good Inspected 12 July 2023
Strengths
- “Throughout school, the ‘R’ of respect is highly visible through the way pupils interact with each other.”
- “Pupils are surrounded by adults they know care deeply about them and want the best for them.”
- “Leaders’ ambitions for pupils academically and socially are beginning to be realised more consistently.”
To improve
- “Attendance has been a challenge for several years.”
- “However, some of the strategies for identifying families and pupils who need support around attendance need further development.”
- “In some areas of the curriculum, the activity choices and way that teachers teach sometimes do not give pupils the best chance of being successful in their learning.”
