What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the curriculum is in its infancy and has not been fully implemented. This means that pupils are not securing their skills and knowledge in line with the school's intentions. The school should continue its work to embed the new curriculum to ensure that pupils develop a full range of knowledge and skills in line with the school's intentions.
- At times, pupils' attitudes to, and behaviours for, learning do not meet the school's high expectations. This means that the classroom environment is not consistently calm and purposeful. The school should ensure that its high expectations are understood by all so that the learning environment is consistently calm and purposeful.
