Strengths
- “Pupils benefit from the school’s caring and supportive ethos as it helps them feel safe and valued.”
- “Warm relationships between staff and pupils foster a culture of mutual respect.”
- “Adults listen to pupils and act quickly if they have any worries.”
To improve
- “However, some aspects of the personal development programme do not help pupils develop a secure understanding of fundamental British values or appreciate some of the differences between people that are protected by law, such as disability or ethnicity, as well as they should.”
- “However, not all activities in the early years support children’s learning as well as they could.”
- “Leaders understand that developments in how they design activities, including outdoors, are needed to enhance children's learning and support for their wider physical and social development.”
