Strengths
- “Older pupils help the younger ones, such as during lunchtimes when preparing and serving food.”
- “Pupils appreciate extra-curricular activities such as French and multi-skills clubs.”
- “They enjoy forest school, where pupils learn about, for example, taking care of the environment and how to keep safe in the outdoors.”
To improve
- “However, for some other subjects, such as history and design and technology, the curriculum is not yet developed with the same precision.”
- “Some of the curriculum is not as clear or as strong as it could be.”
- “This means learning does not always build on pupils’ prior knowledge, which is reflected in some of the work that pupils produce.”
