Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to this friendly, happy and welcoming school.”
- “Staff know the pupils well and care for them.”
- “Pupils are kind and caring to each other.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, the curriculum is not as ambitious.”
- “Leaders have not chosen as carefully the key knowledge they want pupils to learn.”
- “As a result, pupils find it hard to recall important learning, making it difficult for them to grasp more complex ideas later in their study of these subjects.”
