Strengths
- “Pupils are nurtured at this school.”
- “They are looked after by staff and are safe in the school’s care.”
- “They are well behaved, happy and considerate of others.”
To improve
- “However, pupils’ ability to recall knowledge over the long-term is more variable.”
- “This is sometimes because the opportunities the school provides to help pupils retrieve and retain their prior knowledge are not as effective as they could be.”
- “Although the school has begun to address this, related actions are still in their infancy and the impact remains to be seen.”
