In lessons, pupils show excellent attitudes towards learning. Staff look and listen out for the welfare of pupils. Should any concerns arise, the school acts quickly and effectively. Pupils know the importance of their own mental health. They learn how to keep mentally and physically healthy. The school presents an ambitious curriculum for its pupils. Pupils are expected to acquire skills and knowledge that prepare them well for their secondary education. They thrive on the challenges that sit in the curriculum and achieve well.

What the school should improve

  • The school does not have the same depth of knowledge about specific strengths and areas for improvement across all subjects. This means that teachers' subject knowledge is more secure in some subjects than in others. The school should continue to extend the effective monitoring strategies so that these are consistent across the curriculum.
