Overall effectiveness – GOOD
The quality of education – GOOD
Behaviour and attitudes – GOOD

“The curriculum is well designed and ambitious for all pupils.”
“The school ensures that reading is a high priority. Older pupils enjoy reading.”
“Pupils follow the school rules of ‘be ready, be respectful, be safe.”

Next steps:
As part of our ongoing developments to our evolving curriculum, the school was asked to continue identifying the important knowledge pupils need to learn as part of our art curriculum. This work is well underway and had been identified by the school as a priority over the course of this current academic year.
