Strengths
- “Pupils are enthusiastic about coming to this friendly, nurturing school where everyone is respected and made to feel welcome.”
- “Their behaviour and the pride they have in their school reflect the school’s values.”
- “Pupils are happy, safe and well looked after here, parents and carers agree.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, the curriculum is not as well developed as other subjects.”
- “Where this is the case, the school has not identified precisely what pupils need to know and remember.”
- “This makes it harder for pupils to recall important subject knowledge, including vocabulary, which they need for new learning.”
