Strengths
- “Leaders encourage pupils to develop a life-long love of learning here.”
- “Parents and carers typically said that the teachers are very helpful and that the school feels like a family.”
- “Leaders have designed a curriculum across all subjects that is broad and balanced.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, leaders’ curriculum thinking is less well developed.”
- “In these subjects, the school has not identified in sufficient detail the exact knowledge and skills that pupils should learn and the order in which they learn them.”
- “While leaders provide a range of regular professional development opportunities for staff, teachers have some gaps in their subject knowledge in a few subjects.”
