Strengths
- “Pupils talk with enthusiasm about the many school trips and exciting activities on offer in school.”
- “They are determined that all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), catch up and achieve well.”
- “Staff and pupils model caring and positive relationships, which helps pupils to feel safe and confident.”
To improve
- “On occasion, pupils’ recall of content that they have covered in the past is not as strong as it could be.”
- “This results in some gaps in their long-term memory, making it harder to learn new topics.”
