Strengths

- “Staff have high expectations of all pupils, including children in the early years.”
- “Staff ensure that pupils learn how to share and work cooperatively.”
To improve
- “However, teachers do not yet have expert knowledge of these subjects.”
- “Their expectations of what pupils can achieve are not as high as in the other subjects.”
- “As a result, pupils remember less of what they have learned, and their work is not of the same high quality.”
