Strengths
- “Pupils in this school feel happy and secure, as the school fosters a welcoming and inclusive environment.”
- “Leaders, staff, parents and carers, and pupils all agree that the school is a close-knit and supportive community.”
- “Pupils are well looked after and the school knows them well.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes the curriculum does not enable pupils to develop their understanding of subject-specific vocabulary as accurately as it should.”
- “Over time, this results in the depth and detail of pupils’ knowledge being less secure.”
- “However, for some pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, persistent absence rates remain high.”
