Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy being part of this happy and diverse school community.”
- “They help everyone to feel welcome and valued in their school.”
- “Relationships between adults and pupils are warm and nurturing.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, the curriculum content is not identified clearly enough.”
- “This hinders teachers from helping pupils to build on what they know already and from checking how well pupils have learned what they should.”
- “Consequently, some pupils struggle to remember the important knowledge that they need to be ready for the next stage in their learning.”
