Strengths
- “Staff, pupils and parents and carers form a harmonious school community.”
- “All members of this close-knit school show the utmost respect for each other.”
- “Pupils said that they are happy to be in the school because they learn new things and teachers look after them.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, leaders’ checks on how well teachers are implementing the curriculum do not give them enough information about how well pupils are learning.”
- “As a result, in these subjects, the teaching of some aspects of the curriculum does not allow some pupils enough opportunities to revisit key knowledge.”
