Strengths
- “Nevertheless, pupils settle quickly.”
- “This is because warm and nurturing relationships exist between pupils and staff at this school.”
- “Staff have high expectations for behaviour and learning.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes teachers design tasks that do not support pupils’ needs closely enough.”
- “Consequently, some pupils find the work too difficult or too easy for them, which slows their progress through the curriculum.”
- “Despite this, however, a small number of pupils do not attend school regularly enough and absences remain high overall.”
