Strengths
- “Pupils love attending this school.”
- “Staff know every individual pupil well.”
- “Relationships are warm and positive.”
To improve
- “However, this is not consistently the case.”
- “For example, in religious education, pupils learn about other faiths but this learning is not deepened as these topics are revisited too infrequently.”
- “While pupils demonstrate inclusive and respectful values, the curriculum does not develop their understanding of fundamental British values in sufficient depth.”
