Strengths
- “Pupils are greeted each morning by Buddy and Reggie, the friendly school nurture dogs.”
- “They help pupils to develop confidence and to build self-esteem.”
- “Pupils say that everyone is welcome here.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects other than English and mathematics, some pupils are not learning as well as they could.”
- “This is because sometimes staff do not design activities which help pupils to remember new learning or avoid misconceptions.”
- “However, in some subjects other than English and mathematics, this information is not shared well enough beyond each classroom.”
