Strengths
- “Pupils benefit from caring support from staff, in a school where everyone knows them.”
- “They are greeted warmly at the start of each day, which encourages pupils to attend well and on time.”
- “Staff quickly get to know pupils and provide swift help to reduce any barriers to their learning and wellbeing.”
To improve
- “However, the quality of teaching for pupils is not fully effective across the school.”
- “This means that pupils do not secure the knowledge and skills they need to be prepared for their next stage of education.”
- “Furthermore, some pupils do not always show positive attitudes to their learning in lessons.”
