Strengths

- “Pupils and children benefit from encouraging and positive relationships with staff.”
- “They told inspectors that this makes them feel happy in school.”
To improve
- “In one or two subjects, leaders’ curricular thinking is less clear.”
- “In these subjects, leaders have not made the knowledge that pupils and children should learn obvious enough to teachers.”
- “Some staff do not know what content to teach and when this should be taught.”
