Strengths
- “Arbury is a welcoming and inclusive school where pupils are happy.”
- “This contributes to a positive start to the school day.”
- “Pupils have warm and trusting relationships with adults, which helps them feel safe.”
To improve
- “In a few curriculum subjects, these systems are not as fully developed.”
- “Where this is the case, teachers do not identify as precisely as they could what pupils’ next steps are.”
- “As a result, pupils do not learn as much as they could.”
