Strengths
- “Pupils are happy in their school.”
- “Everyone is made to feel welcome here because pupils treat each other with respect.”
- “Pupils value their positive relationships with one another and adults.”
To improve

- “This means that sometimes pupils do not deepen their knowledge and skills consistently well.”
