Strengths

- “They are proud of their school values: ‘sensitive, motivated, attentive, responsible, truthful’.”
- “All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are included in all aspects of school life.”
To improve

- “Consequently, some pupils develop gaps in their knowledge.”
- “This makes it difficult for them to build their knowledge and learn as well as they could.”
