Strengths
- “Pupils thrive in this happy school.”
- “Staff do all that they can to make sure pupils are nurtured to be the best version of themselves.”
- “Pupils respond positively to the endless support they receive.”
To improve
- “Pupils’ outcomes at the higher standard are much more variable.”
- “This is because in some subjects, planned activities do not provide pupils with opportunities to use and apply their knowledge and think more deeply about their learning as consistently as leaders intend.”
- “However, opportunities to apply their knowledge to draw conclusions and evaluate investigations are much less frequent.”
