Strengths
- “Pupils are incredibly proud of their school.”
- “They thrive in the welcoming and caring environment.”
- “This is built on positive relationships between staff and pupils, which start from the beginning of their time in the early years.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, for a small group of pupils, teaching does not build as securely on what pupils already know and can do.”
- “As a result, some pupils’ ability to practise and apply what they know is not as secure.”
- “However, sometimes they over-rely on the school to inform them on aspects of their work.”
