Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy a warm and happy environment, where everyone at the school is valued.”
- “They thrive on the positive and nurturing relationships they have with staff.”
- “This is reflected in the warm welcome that pupils give to visitors and to new pupils that join school.”
To improve
- “In a minority of curriculum areas, subject leaders have not finalised their curriculum thinking.”
- “In these subjects, teachers are not as clear as they should be about the key knowledge that they should teach.”
- “Consequently, at times, the activities that teachers design do not help some pupils to develop the depth of knowledge that they should.”
