Strengths
- “Pupils feel safe and happy in school.”
- “They know that there are trusted adults who they can speak to about any worries that they may have.”
- “Staff take time to get to know pupils and their families well.”
To improve
- “However, the curriculum design does not consider the learning that pupils may have missed as a result of the previously weaker subject curriculums.”
- “These gaps are not spotted or addressed quickly enough.”
- “This means that older pupils in particular do not have all the foundations on which to build new knowledge.”
