Strengths
- “They behave well, work hard and get on well with each other.”
- “Everyone in the school welcomes these pupils warmly.”
- “This contributes to the school’s friendly and inclusive atmosphere where all pupils are valued.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, checks on what pupils know and remember are not as well developed.”
- “This means that, sometimes, teachers do not have a clear picture of whether pupils know and remember the most important subject content.”
- “In some areas of learning, leaders have not identified the most important concepts, including vocabulary, that children need to learn and use by the end of Reception Year.”
