Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy school and are proud members of the Minster community.”
- “Pupils’ behaviour is exemplary.”
- “The ‘CALM code’ helps to ensure that staff and pupils understand what is expected of them.”
To improve
- “In the subjects that are less developed, curriculum thinking is not as refined.”
- “In these subjects, learning is not as focused and purposeful.”
- “This is because the school has not set out as clearly the crucial knowledge and skills that pupils need to learn.”
