Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and safe at this caring school.”
- “They learn to follow the school’s rules: ‘be respectful, be responsible, be kind.”
- “Pupils can name a trusted adult they would talk to if they had any concerns.”
To improve
- “Sometimes, however, the selected activities and resources are less effective in supporting pupils’ understanding of subject content.”
- “This reduces pupils’ ability to secure the intended knowledge and tackle more complex tasks.”
