Strengths
- “Most pupils feel included in school life.”
- “They enjoy taking part in wider opportunities such as sports clubs, art and choir sessions, science and reading clubs.”
- “Many pupils spoke with enthusiasm about a singing performance and a debating competition with other local schools.”
To improve
- “Pupils’ achievement is weak, with most pupils being ill-prepared for the next stage of their learning.”
- “Most pupils have significant gaps in reading, writing and mathematics, and they struggle to recall knowledge taught in other subjects.”
- “These gaps go unchecked and are not addressed quickly enough.”
