Good Inspected 9 July 2024
Strengths
- “The school makes sure that parents and carers, pupils and staff understand and support the ‘happy Hanover habits’ of being kind, brave and responsible.”
- “These are threaded through everything that happens here and help to make the school a joyful and nurturing place for everyone.”
- “Pupils enjoy learning very much, including opportunities to learn outside of the classroom.”
To improve
- “Some pupils enjoy reading more than others.”
- “In some areas, where the school’s curriculum work is newer, some staff have not had the training needed to expertly deepen pupils’ knowledge and understanding.”
- “This affects how well pupils’ learning of the curriculum deepens over time.”
