Good Inspected 7 March 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils appreciate the care that staff show towards them.”
- “Adults put pupils’ wellbeing at the heart of everything they do.”
- “Attendance and punctuality levels are high because pupils enjoy coming to learn at school.”
To improve
- “In some other wider curriculum subjects, the delivery of the curriculum is not as well focused on developing pupils’ understanding of key concepts.”
- “At times, activities overly emphasise helping pupils to get better at writing rather than the subject that pupils are learning.”
- “This makes it harder for pupils to fully grasp and retrieve previous learning, and to link new subject content to what they have learned before.”
