Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to this school.”
- “They are sensible and conduct themselves well.”
- “They take great pride in the roles and responsibilities that they undertake.”
To improve
- “However, while pupils also achieve well in other parts of the curriculum, they do not consistently reach the same high standards.”
- “In some subjects, including in the early years, the school has not provided the same level of guidance to teachers about when some key knowledge should be taught.”
- “This impedes teachers’ ability to help pupils to deepen their understanding of some core concepts.”
