Strengths
- “Pupils here are kind and respectful to each other.”
- “They form strong friendships, and work and play happily together.”
- “Pupils also develop good relationships with staff.”
To improve

- “This means that some pupils do not secure the knowledge and understanding they need before teachers move on to the next stage of learning.”
