Strengths
- “Pupils, families and staff are proud to be a part of this caring and inclusive school community.”
- “Pupils readily demonstrate the school motto of being ‘proud to shine’.”
- “They have high aspirations for what pupils can achieve.”
To improve
- “Nevertheless, although pupils can speak confidently about their learning, some struggle to remember the subject-specific vocabulary that they have learned.”
- “This is because, at times, teaching does not ensure that pupils understand words securely and deeply.”
