Strengths
- “They happily join their classmates in the morning, ready for the day ahead.”
- “The youngest children in the school delight in learning and enjoy school just as much as the older pupils.”
- “Parents share their children’s enthusiasm.”
To improve
- “The curriculum is at an earlier stage of development in a small number of foundation subjects, such as history.”
- “As a result, pupils do not achieve as well as they could.”
- “Further work is needed to ensure that the content of the curriculum in these subjects is as carefully identified as it is in others.”
