Strengths
- “Pupils thrive at this warm, welcoming and happy school and appreciate the strong relationships staff have built.”
- “Pupils, especially those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), respond positively to the support they receive.”
- “They can talk to and share any worries or concerns with trusted adults.”
To improve
- “However, some changes to curriculum subjects are relatively new.”
- “In these subjects, pupils do not deepen or apply their knowledge of the curriculum as well as they could, and some have difficulty recalling their learning.”
- “For example, not all use their problem-solving in mathematics or their enquiry skills in science to apply their existing knowledge to draw conclusions and evaluate investigations.”
