Strengths

- “Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school site.”

To improve
- “However, pupils in key stages 1 and 2 do not routinely learn enough knowledge to develop a thorough understanding in some wider curriculum subjects.”

- “Pupils struggle to apply their knowledge in these subjects.”
