Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and safe at this caring school.”
- “They state that staff are nice and that they listen to their thoughts and ideas.”
- “Pupils know that if they have a concern, there are trusted adults that they can talk to who will resolve any issues.”
To improve
- “However, there are instances where this support is not as purposeful as it should be in supporting pupils' reading fluency and comprehension skills.”
- “However, recent changes to improve some areas of the curriculum have not, at present, been embedded in teaching approaches.”
- “At times, in these areas, the work provided to pupils does not support them to develop the same depth of knowledge and understanding as they do in other subjects.”
