Strengths

- “They enjoy coming to school and learning with their friends.”
- “There is a sense of shared pride throughout the school.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, the teaching of the curriculum is at an earlier stage of development.”
- “This means that key ideas are not consistently taught, including for some pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
- “In a few subjects, however, teaching does not consistently ensure that all pupils, including pupils with SEND, are securing the key concepts needed for future learning effectively.”
