Strengths
- “Leaders successfully communicate their high expectations for all pupils.”
- “Their emphasis on these expectations within the first 6 months of the school opening is clear.”
- “Pupils, who are all currently in Year 7, respond positively to the high expectations that leaders set.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes teachers do not provide pupils with sufficient opportunities to apply and embed their knowledge.”
- “As a result, in some subjects pupils do not develop their knowledge, skills and extended writing as deeply as they could.”
- “However, the school's professional development programme for staff is not fully established.”
