Strengths
- “Leaders have established a distinctive school vision based on the acronym ‘HEART’.”
- “Staff work together to build their school on the foundations of happiness, excellence, aspirations, respect and togetherness.”
- “Staff consistently display these values through their interactions with pupils.”
To improve
- “Attendance is lower than it should be.”
- “However, the school has not precisely identified the most important knowledge that pupils need to learn.”
- “This makes it harder for pupils to make connections between the different aspects that they are learning about.”
