Strengths
- “Pupils thrive in the warm and supportive climate of this school.”
- “They are keen to learn, and they participate enthusiastically in their lessons.”
- “In the early years, staff skilfully help children to develop attributes such as resilience and perseverance that grow and develop as they move up through the school.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects where the curriculum is particularly new, the school does not use effective strategies to check on pupils’ learning.”
- “At times, gaps in pupils’ learning are not accurately identified or addressed.”
- “It is therefore not clear if pupils have securely learned what they should have before they move on to new content.”
