Strengths
- “The school takes time to understand pupils’ individual needs prior to joining.”
- “Consequently, staff provide the specific support each pupil needs to transition successfully into the school.”
- “Pupils respond well to the school’s high expectations.”
To improve
- “In some other areas of the curriculum, checks on learning are used less effectively.”
- “When this happens, the school expects pupils to complete work before they have secured the important building blocks of knowledge they need to do so.”
- “While leaders have brought about improvements, quality assurance processes are underdeveloped in some important aspects of the school’s work.”
