Strengths
- “Pupils flourish at this school.”
- “Pupils are proud to act out the positive behaviours that they see from staff.”
- “They make a strong contribution to the calm and respectful atmosphere that exists at the school.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, the school has not identified the essential knowledge that pupils should learn.”
- “At times, this means that staff are not as clear as they could be about what content they should teach and when they should teach it.”
- “As a result, some pupils do not develop the depth of knowledge that they could in these subjects.”
