Strengths
- “Kindness underpins the strong relationships that they build with their peers and staff.”
- “Pupils are sensitive to the needs of others.”
- “They notice when others need help and willingly offer support.”
To improve
- “However, the school does not routinely recognise when pupils have forgotten knowledge over time.”
- “This leads to gaps in their knowledge, and they do not recall important aspects of the curriculum.”
- “However, the school has not ensured that some disadvantaged pupils attend school regularly.”
