Strengths
- “Pupils are proud of their multicultural school.”
- “They appreciate how staff care for them and support them with their learning.”
- “New pupils, who often arrive with limited English, are warmly welcomed by other pupils and staff.”
To improve
- “In a few lessons, the work that staff provide does not precisely focus on the most important content that pupils need to learn.”
- “This makes it harder for pupils to recall and build on the essential knowledge and skills over time.”
- “The support for a small group of pupils with more complex needs is at an earlier stage of development.”
