Strengths
- “Adults and pupils work well together to ensure that pupils’ welfare and learning are well promoted.”
- “The school is a calm and respectful place and pupils learn happily.”
- “They conduct themselves well in lessons and during playtimes.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, some of these strong and well-established practices are at an earlier stage of development and implementation.”
- “This means, that in those subjects, pupils do not routinely achieve as well as they could.”
- “However, occasionally teaching is not as effective as it could be to ensure that pupils gain the deep knowledge of which they are capable.’”
