Strengths
- “Pupils understand the values, with comments including ‘I think the most important value is tolerance’, ‘we are all equal and we should all be treated equally’ and ‘whether we have different languages or come from a different country, we are all equal’.”
- “Pupils are well cared for and staff keep a close eye on them to make sure they are kept as safe as possible.”
- “Pupils get on well with each other.”
To improve
- “However, in some year groups, teachers do not check that pupils present their work neatly and accurately.”
- “Some errors in pupils’ spellings of subject-specific words are also not addressed.”
- “As yet, religious education (RE), design and technology (DT) and computing are less developed than other curriculum subjects.”
