What the school should improve
- Assessment of pupils' learning across the foundation subjects is in the early stages of development. This means that staff may not always know how well pupils are learning or what curriculum improvements might be needed to ensure that all pupils achieve well. The school should improve further its systems for assessment in the wider curriculum to help pupils learn and remember all key learning.
- Not all pupils take part in opportunities to develop leadership skills or contribute to the wider success of the school. This means that they can miss out on opportunities to develop important qualities such as confidence and responsibility. The school should further strengthen and extend the range of opportunities it offers pupils so that they are as well prepared as possible for their future lives.
