Strengths

- “They are quick to point out their extensive playground area, where they enjoy playing with their peers.”
- “Pupils feel safe, as they trust the adults around them to support them if they have concerns or worries.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, however, the significant knowledge and vocabulary that pupils are expected to know and remember are not as clearly thought through as they should be.”
- “Consequently, in these subjects, pupils do not build up and remember subject content as fluently.”
- “Sometimes, pupils receive large amounts of new ideas or information in one go.”
