Strengths
- “Pupils arrive with smiles on their faces.”
- “They value the kind and welcoming environment created by staff.”
- “As a result, pupils feel safe and happy.”
To improve
- “Occasionally, inconsistencies remain in the implementation of the curriculum.”
- “For example, sometimes staff’s explanations and chosen activities do not help pupils learn new knowledge as well as they should.”
- “However, this is not consistently the case in all subjects, and some pupils do not learn parts of the curriculum as well as they could.”
