Strengths
- “This small school is a supportive, caring and happy place where everyone is valued.”
- “Pupils take pride in attending and appreciate the genuine care from staff.”
- “They feel secure and well looked after.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects in the wider curriculum, this knowledge is less well defined.”
- “This makes it challenging for teachers to emphasise the important knowledge and check what pupils have learned.”
- “As a result, pupils are not acquiring deep levels of understanding across all subjects as effectively as they could.”
