- “Pupils enjoy their learning and they do their best to follow the school’s motto by being ready to learn and respectful towards others and keeping themselves safe.”
- “Staff know the pupils and their families well.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, teachers do not provide sufficient opportunity for some pupils to consolidate earlier learning.”
