Strengths
- “Pupils, parents and carers and staff are proud to be part of this friendly and welcoming school community.”
- “Core values, such as justice, respect, service and kindness, are at the heart of pupils’ experiences.”
- “Staff take time to get to know pupils and their families well.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes, pupils’ long-term recall and understanding of subject content are not fully secure.”
- “This is because, sometimes, teaching does not revisit learning from previous years sufficiently well to ensure that pupils have mastered ideas fully.”
