Strengths
- “The school is determined that all pupils achieve extremely well.”
- “High expectations underpin all activities and pupils regularly rise to them.”
- “The school motto, ‘every child, every chance, every day’, underpins everything.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, the school’s recent refinements to the implementation of the curriculum are not embedded fully.”
- “This means that sometimes pupils may move on before their understanding or knowledge of key concepts is secure.”
- “A small number still struggle with this and risk missing vital learning, at the start of the day because they arrive late, or because they are absent too often.”
