Strengths
- “This is a happy and friendly school filled with lots of positive energy.”
- “Pupils are kind and support each other, such as in warmly welcoming new arrivals.”
- “Pupils said that adults take good care of them.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, approaches used to help pupils retrieve and remember knowledge are not routinely sharp enough.”
- “This means that, sometimes, pupils do not remember long-term essential subject-specific knowledge.”
- “In these instances, pupils’ achievement is not as strong as it could be.”
