Strengths
- “The school is ambitious for all pupils.”
- “They strive to create ‘confident, lifelong learners’ and have designed a curriculum that is well planned and sequenced.”
- “Reading and communication is purposefully planned to be at the heart of all learning.”
To improve
- “However, while teachers have a clear picture of what pupils have learned over time, they do not typically use this information to adapt the planned curriculum.”
- “This means that pupils do not fully secure all key knowledge.”
- “However, the school’s attendance rates, including for pupils with SEND and disadvantaged pupils, are just below national averages.”
