Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to this welcoming school.”
- “There is a warm, respectful atmosphere between pupils and staff where pupils feel secure.”
- “They rightly trust the staff around them to help if they feel worried about anything.”
To improve
- “However, in some wider curriculum subjects, the precise knowledge and skills are less well defined.”
- “Consequently, some pupils have gaps in their learning and do not achieve as well as they could.”
- “However, in some subjects, checks that staff make on what pupils have learned are not used well enough to inform future learning.”
