Strengths
- “Pupils are proud of their school and offer a warm welcome to visitors.”
- “They are very courteous to each other and to the adults who look after them.”
- “They know how to raise concerns with trusted adults if needed and are confident in doing so.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, the curriculum has not been designed with the same precision.”
- “In these instances, the important knowledge pupils need to learn has not been broken down into small steps.”
- “This makes it difficult for staff to check that pupils have secured the prior knowledge and skills they need before moving on to more complex tasks.”
