What This School Does Well

The school has worked to improve teaching quality through staff training and better assessment methods, helping teachers understand what pupils need to learn. It has expanded its curriculum to include new subjects and created structured plans for learning. The school maintains a strong safeguarding culture where staff and leaders prioritise pupil welfare and work effectively with external agencies.

Key Strengths

  • Safeguarding arrangements are effective with regular staff training and swift action on welfare concerns
  • Improved assessment practices with teachers using quizzes, tests and questioning to check pupil learning
  • Better understanding of pupil needs and starting points when planning lessons

  • Consolidated opportunities for pupils to learn about different communities and cultures through multicultural days and faith representatives

Areas for Improvement

  • New curriculum changes have not been fully embedded and are yet to be properly implemented across all subjects
  • Pupils have not had equal opportunity to learn and make progress in all subjects due to incomplete curriculum rollout
  • Some curriculum plans are only starting to be implemented now
  • Action plan submitted to the Department for Education was deemed unacceptable and has not been amended
  • Leadership needs to ensure consistent meeting of all independent school standards

Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with regular staff training, clear understanding of responsibilities, swift action on welfare concerns, and proper safer recruitment processes in place.
