Strengths
- “Pupils said that they are happy to come to this school every morning because their teachers are kind and staff know them well.”
- “They feel safe because they trust adults to resolve any problems that they may have.”
- “Staff deal with any occasional acts of unkindness or bullying swiftly.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, leaders have not defined carefully enough the knowledge that they want pupils to acquire.”
- “As a result, in these subjects, pupils do not learn some of the building blocks essential for their future learning.”
- “However, in a few subjects, teachers do not identify across a series of lessons where gaps in pupils’ knowledge remain.”
