Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy being part of this nurturing and caring school community.”
- “They develop positive relationships with staff and with each other.”
- “The school is highly ambitious for pupils’ achievement.”
To improve

- “This makes it harder for teachers to design learning activities and to then accurately check that pupils are learning and remembering all that they should in these subjects.”
