Strengths
- “Pupils value the positive relationships they have with adults in the school.”
- “They frequently demonstrate the school’s values, including friendship, compassion, kindness and respect.”
- “Pupils feel safe in school, and they are well cared for.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, teachers do not check that pupils have a secure understanding of the knowledge needed to access new learning.”
- “When this is the case, pupils’ knowledge does not build as successfully as it should because gaps and misconceptions are not corrected.”
