Strengths
- “Pupils flourish in this welcoming school.”
- “They benefit from caring, supportive and respectful relationships with staff and each other.”
- “Each pupil is known by staff and made to feel special.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, some older pupils have developed gaps in their knowledge.”
- “At times, teachers have not identified these gaps, and they persist.”
- “This hinders how well these pupils build new learning on top of what has been taught previously.”
