Strengths
- “Pupils are very proud of their school.”
- “They take care of the school environment responsibly.”
- “Pupils tidy up after themselves and show independence throughout the school day, in classrooms and on the playground.”
To improve
- “However, in some lessons staff do not consistently check pupils’ understanding as effectively as they could.”
- “As a result, a small proportion of pupils have misconceptions that are not addressed, leading to gaps in pupils' knowledge.”
- “However, some pupils' writing skills are not as secure as they could be.”
