There is a culture of respect and acceptance, where differences are celebrated. Pupils' behaviour is exceptional. Positive praise underpins the values of the school. Bullying is not tolerated. Pupils have a good understanding of what bullying is and are clear that it does not happen. Leaders have high expectations for all pupils.

What the school should improve

  • Currently, leaders' ambitious curriculum intent is not fully embedded for a small number of foundation subjects. In some subjects, the activities that teachers choose do not fully support pupils in learning the intended knowledge. As a result, some pupils do not develop a depth of understanding in all subjects. Leaders should ensure that teachers' activity choices enable pupils to learn the intended knowledge.
