Strengths
- “This is a welcoming and happy school.”
- “Staff and pupils treat each other with respect and kindness.”
- “Pupils value the importance of friendship and work hard to demonstrate the school’s values.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, pupils find it difficult to remember key knowledge and vocabulary.”
- “This is because in these subjects, leaders and teachers have not carefully checked what pupils have been taught, know and remember over time.”
- “However, sometimes adults do not model language effectively and extend children’s vocabulary and sentence structure.”
