Strengths
- “Pupils said that everyone is welcome at their school.”
- “They are very proud to serve their local community.”
- “Pupils are happy and feel safe.”
To improve
- “However, at times, the learning activities that pupils complete do not help them to know all that they should about the subjects that they are studying.”
- “However, the gaps in pupils’ understanding are not identified as well as they should be.”
- “This hampers pupils from securing a strong body of knowledge that they can remember for their future learning.”
