Strengths
- “This is a welcoming and happy school community.”
- “Pupils love coming to this school because their friends are kind and adults are caring.”
- “Pupils are polite and considerate towards others.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, teachers do not consistently check that pupils can remember what they have been taught previously before moving on to the next stage of learning.”
- “This means that sometimes, pupils do not apply what they have been taught before to their current learning, and develop gaps in their knowledge.”
- “On occasions, however, activities given to pupils do not align closely to the knowledge and skills leaders want pupils to gain.”
