Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to this harmonious school where they are safe and happy.”
- “Pupils are typically industrious, motivated to succeed in their studies and enjoy highly positive relationships with one another and staff.”
- “In the vast majority of cases, pupils rise to the school's high expectations of them.”
To improve
- “Where some pupils need extra help to behave well, the school provides it, although the support some pupils receive does not always meet their needs precisely.”
- “However, there are some instances where pupils do not grasp what teachers want them to and this is not consistently addressed.”
- “However, there are some differences between how well different groups of pupils secure key knowledge and understanding.”
