Strengths
- “Pupils at this school benefit from a welcoming and inclusive ethos.”
- “Leaders have established a calm and purposeful learning environment where pupils are encouraged to ‘think big, work hard and be kind’.”
- “They behave well in lessons and around the school, and they show respect to each other and to adults.”
To improve
- “Sometimes, however, teachers’ choices of tasks in lessons are not closely linked to the knowledge they want pupils to learn.”
- “This can hinder their checks of pupils’ understanding and the clear delivery of new content.”
- “This, in turn, leads to some gaps in pupils’ knowledge.”
