Strengths
- “This is a school where staff show high levels of care to all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
- “Pupils are given a warm welcome into school every morning.”
- “Staff are ambitious for all pupils to achieve highly.”
To improve
- “Despite this, a few pupils do not gain the depth of understanding they need to improve their mastery of art and design techniques.”
- “This is because assessment is not used precisely enough to check what pupils know and remember to inform future learning.”
