Strengths
- “Pupils receive a warm welcome each morning from staff who know them well.”
- “This helps pupils to feel safe, valued and ready to learn.”
- “Pupils build secure relationships with staff and with one another.”
To improve
- “However, achievement is not as strong across some other subjects.”
- “Leaders have high aspirations for pupils, but these do not always translate into teaching that meets pupils’ needs.”
- “For example, disadvantaged pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, do not always receive the support they need to learn all that they should.”
