Strengths
- “Pupils flourish in this welcoming and friendly school.”
- “They feel that they belong and that adults include and value them.”
- “Leaders’ vision of ‘only the best is good enough’ is at the centre of everything that they do.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, leaders are still refining their curriculum thinking.”
- “There is so much content within some of the units of work that teachers are unclear about the most essential knowledge they should teach.”
- “As a result, pupils do not remember the most important knowledge that they need for future learning.”
