Some aspects not as strong Inspected 26 February 2025
Strengths
- “This school is warm and welcoming.”
- “It has high expectations of how pupils should behave.”
- “Recently, the school has begun to take effective action to address the poor behaviour of some pupils.”
To improve
- “Nevertheless, a minority of pupils have ongoing concerns that bullying is not addressed consistently well.”
- “This impacts negatively on how safe and happy these pupils feel at school.”
- “Even so, in some subjects, the delivery of this curriculum does not help pupils to achieve as well as they should.”
