Strengths

“Leaders are ambitious for pupils.”
“They have a clear focus on developing pupils’ respect for others, sense of responsibility, enjoyment and aspirations.”
“At breaktimes, they love the array of activities available in the playground, including basketball games, cricket matches and construction-toy equipment.”

To improve

“Some subjects are at an earlier stage of development than others.”
“In a few subjects, leaders have not identified all the important knowledge that pupils need to know and remember from the early years upwards.”
“As a result, pupils have a few gaps in their knowledge.”
