- “Pupils, including children in the early years, are happy and enjoy coming to school.”
- “Those who are new to the school settle quickly and make friends.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, the school is still in the early stages of deciding the key knowledge and concepts that pupils should learn.”
- “This makes it difficult for teachers to know what they should emphasise and consolidate when they design learning.”
- “As a result, some pupils do not acquire a sufficient depth of subjectspecific knowledge in these subjects.”
