The Anglo Portuguese School of London has demonstrated a good overall effectiveness in its first inspection, reflecting solid performance across various domains. Leaders have high aspirations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), and they promote a safe and respectful learning environment where pupils enjoy their education. The curriculum is structured to help pupils achieve well, particularly in their bilingual education in English and Portuguese, and there is a strong emphasis on personal development and extracurricular activities. However, the school faces challenges as it continues to grow, including the need for teaching practices to consistently revisit key knowledge and skills to bolster pupils’ subject-specific understanding. This issue, though noted, does not overshadow the positive climate and leadership within the school. The school is currently in a phase of expansion and building development, which poses additional demands on staff as they adapt to the evolving needs of their student body.
