Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to school and are happy.”
- “They have positive relationships with staff.”
- “Pupils know that staff are there to help and support them.”
To improve
- “On occasion, teachers do not adapt the curriculum well enough to ensure pupils move on to new learning at the appropriate time.”
- “When this happens, pupils may repeat work they already know.”
- “However, there has been some inconsistency in the advice and guidance provided, which means some of the support is not as well delivered to ensure pupils progress as well as they could.”
