Strengths
- “Pupils have fun at school and value learning.”
- “In lessons and during playtimes, pupils care for each other and enjoy their time together.”
- “Lessons are calm, and pupils concentrate well on their studies.”
To improve
- “COVID-19 and the introduction of new governors to the school have interrupted the routine work of governors.”
- “This means that governors have not always been able to check the effectiveness of the curriculum as precisely as they did prior to the pandemic.”
