Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending this welcoming school.”
- “They are put at ease by the caring professional relationships that they form with staff and by the kindness and consideration with which pupils treat one another.”
- “Leaders are ambitious for all pupils.”
To improve
- “At times, teaching does not focus on the key subject curriculum content as closely as leaders intend.”
- “As a result, pupils’ knowledge sometimes develops less securely.”
- “Sometimes, teaching does not check pupils’ understanding of the key content that they need to know and plug any gaps before moving on to more complex work.”
