Strengths
- “They benefit from strong and supportive relationships with staff and each other.”
- “Staff greet pupils each morning with a smile to ensure that they have a positive start to the day.”
- “They are considerate and polite.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, the core knowledge pupils need to know is not as clearly identified as it could be.”
- “This sometimes means that learning does not help pupils to know and remember more over time.”
- “However, the rates of persistent absence are still too high.”
