Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to this welcoming and friendly school.”
- “They build positive relationships with the staff and with each other.”
- “The school has a calm and orderly environment.”
To improve
- “In other subjects, although the curriculum intent is strong and leaders are ambitious for all pupils, this is not consistently matched by the delivery.”
- “For example, sometimes teaching does not ensure that pupils have the necessary prior knowledge or that their explanations are completely accurate.”
- “Sometimes questioning lacks precision, so some pupils are not asked questions that require them to think hard about their response.”
