Strengths
- “This is a school where love and care shine through.”
- “The warm and nurturing relationships between staff and pupils are special.”
- “Staff know and understand pupils well.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, some pupils do not remember essential knowledge over time.”
- “This is because, on occasion, staff do not focus on the most important knowledge that the school wants pupils to secure in readiness for future learning.”
- “However, in a few wider curriculum subjects, the school is still developing its approaches to check that pupils embed knowledge into their long-term memory.”
