Strengths
- “Pupils thrive in this warm, happy and nurturing school, where they feel safe and cared for.”
- “They rise to the school’s high expectations of their behaviour.”
- “Pupils often put themselves in the shoes of those who they consider less fortunate than themselves.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, the school has not fully implemented this improvement.”
- “In these subjects, sometimes the curriculum does not enable pupils to remember their learning well enough over time.”
- “Consequently, at times, they cannot make connections with past learning to achieve a richer understanding.”
