Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to school.”
- “They see it as a friendly place where everyone is welcome.”
- “In the early years, children skip into class, full of excitement for the day ahead.”
To improve
- “Nevertheless, in a few subjects, the curriculum does not identify clearly enough how pupils should connect new knowledge with what they have learned in the past.”
- “In these subjects, pupils do not deepen their understanding of the bigger concepts that underpin their growing knowledge.”
