Strengths
- “Pupils thoroughly enjoy attending their school, where they celebrate everyone being different and unique.”
- “They benefit from a culture where all pupils are supported to be their best, while finding their individual talents and interests.”
- “Pupils feel that staff keep them safe and empower them to know how to stay safe out of school.”
To improve
- “However, some pupils have gaps in their learning due to weaknesses in the previous curriculums.”
- “While teachers check pupils’ knowledge carefully and take steps to address gaps in learning, the newness of the curriculum means that there has not been sufficient time to help pupils overcome deficits in their knowledge.”
- “At times, this makes it difficult for them to recall what they have learned previously.”
