What the school should improve

  • In some subjects in the wider curriculum, the tasks and activities do not always meet the intended learning outcome. This means that pupils do not always gain a deeper understanding in their learning. The school should support teachers to identify the most appropriate activities that meet the intended learning and outcomes.
  • Some staff have raised concerns around the pace of change since the school joined the multi academy trust. This means that some staff do not feel well supported with their workload and well-being. The school should continue to engage with staff to understand their views so that workload and well-being is well considered when further changes are made.
