Strengths
- “Pupils are happy because they are nurtured and valued at this caring school.”
- “Pupils’ achievements, both in and out of school, are encouraged, recognised and celebrated.”
- “Relationships throughout reflect the focus on being ‘ready, respectful and safe’.”
To improve
- “However, the curriculum in some other subjects is at an earlier stage of being implemented.”
- “This means pupils are not always reaching the same high standards of developing subject knowledge and skills in the wider curriculum as they are in English and mathematics.”
- “However, not all subject leaders have yet checked to see how effective the learning has been in helping pupils to know more and remember more across the school’s curriculum.”
