Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and safe at this inclusive school.”
- “Pupils know the school’s distinctive values well.”
- “They reflect on how they treat others and the importance of being thoughtful and kind.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, pupils do not deepen their knowledge as much as they could.”
- “This is because teachers do not always use assessments of pupils’ knowledge as well as they could to inform their next steps.”
- “However, at times, teaching does not focus sharply enough on developing children’s vocabulary.”
