Strengths
- “This school is a happy place to be.”
- “Pupils said that school is fun and that they make lots of new friends here.”

To improve
- “Typically, pupils can recall their prior learning, knowledge and skills, but not all pupils can.”
- “In a few subjects, where the content is not broken down and delivered in small, clear steps, pupils find it difficult to remember their previous learning.”
- “While many parents speak highly of the school, some said that they would like more frequent notices and information, particularly about their child’s learning, in order to support their child’s education.”
