Strengths
- “This is a school where pupils learn to be themselves, to respect difference and to speak out when they see injustice.”
- “Pupils behave exceptionally well.”
- “For instance, through their words and actions, they show considerable care and kindness towards others.”
To improve
- “Nevertheless, the school sometimes does not ensure that staff help pupils to remember some key knowledge.”
- “This means that, at times, some information does not stay in pupils’ long-term memory.”
