Good Inspected 7 November 2023

Strengths

“Pupils thrive in this supportive and aspirational environment.”
“They embody the school’s values to be ambitious, brave and caring.”
“The school has high expectations of pupils’ achievements, including for those pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”

To improve

“However, in some subjects, gaps in pupils’ understanding are not identified and then addressed as well.”
“This means that pupils sometimes tackle activities in lessons without the important knowledge that they need to achieve as well as they could.”
