Strengths
- “This is a happy and welcoming school.”
- “They live out the school mission ‘to love, wonder and achieve together’.”
- “They show this through the many leadership roles they hold.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, the school does not check how well pupils can apply their knowledge.”
- “For example, pupils research facts about the Roman invasion of Britain but they do not have enough opportunities to consider its impact on life in Britain.”
- “This means pupils do not always have opportunities to deepen their understanding.”
