Strengths
- “There is a clear sense of belonging across this growing school.”
- “Because many join throughout the year, pupils are skilled at welcoming newcomers and take pride in helping them settle quickly.”
- “Leaders have established effective induction routines so that new arrivals understand expectations and feel part of the community straight away.”
To improve
- “However, the high standards of achievement seen in core subjects are not always matched across the wider curriculum.”
- “Currently, leaders do not check all areas of the curriculum with the same rigour.”
- “As a result, they do not have a fully consistent understanding of the quality of curriculum provision across all subjects.”
