- “They appreciate the thoughtfulness of staff, who provide a nurturing and friendly environment.”

To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects the underlying concepts that connect different aspects of learning are not defined well enough.”

- “As a result, there are some gaps in pupils’ understanding in these subjects.”
