Strengths
- “Pupils happily arrive to a calm and welcoming school.”
- “They feel safe because routines are clear and staff know them well.”
- “Adults model respectful behaviour, and pupils follow their example.”
To improve
- “Although pupils' achievement is positive overall, there is some unevenness in achievement across subjects.”
- “In some subjects, teaching activities can be too simple or focus on knowledge that is already secure.”
- “For a small number of pupils, this reduces how well they make progress in their learning.”
