Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to this school.”
- “The vision and values of ‘inspired and empowered’ run through much of what happens at the school.”
- “Pupils and staff take personal responsibility for their actions and do their best.”
To improve
- “However, they sometimes struggle to remember what they have been learning previously in some wider curriculum subjects.”
- “At times, subject content is not taught in a way that helps pupils to secure their understanding, and then build on and apply what they know.”
- “At break times, however, particularly when play and activities are less structured, there are occasions where issues arise in friendship groups.”
