Strengths
- “Pupils feel safe and valued in this warm and welcoming school.”
- “Adults care deeply about pupils’ wellbeing.”
- “Pupils trust staff to look after them and know exactly who to turn to if they need help.”
To improve
- “That said, their knowledge in a small number of subjects is not as deep and secure as it could be.”
- “This is because the school does not address pupils’ knowledge gaps and misconceptions consistently well.”
- “However, there are times when their checks of pupils' learning do not accurately identify gaps and misconceptions.”
