Strengths
- “Lympstone is a warm, friendly and welcoming school.”
- “There is a strong community spirit where pupils feel valued.”
- “Pupils and staff are proud of their school.”
To improve
- “However, pupils’ subject knowledge is not as secure across all subjects.”

- “In such cases, pupils do not recall or build on knowledge as confidently.”
