Strengths
- “Pupils are happy in school and feel safe.”
- “They are polite, courteous and friendly.”
- “Staff deal with any cases of bullying effectively.”
To improve
- “Despite the strengths in the curriculum, in a few subjects older pupils in key stage 2 have some gaps in their knowledge.”
- “For example, in geography, pupils struggled to learn to use six-figure grid references because they did not have enough prior knowledge of maps.”
- “Older pupils have not benefited from them in previous year groups.”
