Strengths
- “This is a very caring and happy place to learn.”
- “Leaders ensure that the school’s values of kindness, respect, ambition, determination, courage and honesty are interwoven throughout school life.”
- “Pupils respond positively to the high expectations teachers have of them.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, pupils struggle to remember key knowledge and vocabulary and have gaps in their learning.”
- “This is because in these subjects, leaders and teachers do not have effective systems in place to check what pupils have been taught, know and remember over time.”
- “However, sometimes adults in the early years do not model language effectively and extend children’s vocabulary and sentence structure across the curriculum.”
