Good Inspected 12 September 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils hold positive views about attending this school now.”
- “They recognise that the school has improved dramatically.”
- “Pupils also know that the high expectations that staff have help them to achieve academically and personally.”
To improve
- “There are still a few areas of the curriculum where this is not the case, and as a result, pupils do not get the depth of understanding that is set out in the curriculum.”
- “On occasions, teachers present too much information at once.”
- “Some pupils have too much to think about and do not learn as well as they could.”
