Strengths
- “Pupils feel fortunate to belong to this calm, caring school.”
- “They understand, and live out, the school’s embedded values of respect, tolerance, courage and responsibility.”
- “Pupils interact happily together and behave well.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, these checks on learning are not as effective as they could be at identifying where adaptations to the delivery of the curriculum may be needed.”
- “For example, staff do not consistently identify whether pupils have misconceptions or if they are ready to move on to more complex tasks, so that timely adaptations to activities can be made.”
