Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and well nurtured here.”
- “They treat others with respect and celebrate the vibrant diversity of the school, for example through ‘International Day’ festivities.”
- “Pupils know they have ‘trusted adults’ who swiftly resolve any worries they may have.”
To improve
- “In some areas, pupils require further opportunities to practise and apply this new learning.”
- “On occasion, the planned activities in lessons do not give pupils sufficient time to practise and apply the most important ideas.”
- “This means they are less well prepared to tackle more complex subject content later.”
