Strengths
- “Strong relationships between pupils and staff add to the feeling of community at this school.”
- “They told the inspector that their friends and the staff look after them well.”
- “Leaders and staff deal with the few incidents swiftly and effectively.”
To improve
- “In a number of other subjects, the checks on the curriculum and how well it is implemented are less well developed.”
- “This prevents subject leaders from fully understanding the impact of the subject curriculums on how well pupils remember their learning over time.”
- “However, in subjects other than English and mathematics, assessment strategies are at an early stage of development.”
