Strengths
- “This is a welcoming and nurturing place to learn.”
- “The atmosphere around the school is very calm.”
- “This is because there are clear and consistent routines and high expectations from staff.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, pupils find it difficult to remember previously taught concepts and vocabulary.”
- “When this happens, pupils find it difficult to link new learning to what they have been taught before and they develop gaps in their learning.”
