The school has invested well in sports and enrichment activities to broaden pupils' experiences.

  • Strong leadership with clear vision and effective strategies for improvement
  • Outstanding provision for spiritual, moral, social and cultural development

Areas for Improvement

  • Expectations for presentation and quality of work need to be consistently high across all subjects
  • Reading comprehension skills need further development to help pupils understand texts more deeply
  • Foundation subjects (like history, geography, art) need to develop pupils' subject-specific knowledge and skills

Safeguarding

Safeguarding arrangements are effective - staff are vigilant in spotting and reporting concerns, pupils know who to talk to if worried, and the school maintains high standards of care for vulnerable pupils.
