Areas for Improvement
- Reading materials are outdated, too gender-specific and not age-appropriate for all pupils

Safeguarding is effective, with pupils feeling safe and staff receiving regular training, though records of minor incidents are not documented with sufficient rigour.
Extracurricular Activities
