Strengths
- “This is a school where staff and pupils have mutual respect.”
- “Leaders have created an environment that blends the taught curriculum with wider opportunities effectively.”
- “Pupils enjoy observing and caring for animals that are housed onsite, including ducks, chickens and fish.”
To improve
- “In other subjects, a lack of clarity from leaders in relation to specific content is creating some confusion and adding to the workload of staff.”
- “For example, in geography, examples used in class when learning about coastal areas vary and do not always provide opportunities to teach the intended curriculum in depth.”
- “However, some staff feel overburdened with planning different activities for different pupils.”
