Strengths

- “They develop a deep enthusiasm for learning and the world around them.”

To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, the school is at an earlier stage of identifying the key content.”

- “In subjects where the school’s checks of learning are less well developed, gaps in pupils’ understanding are not identified accurately.”
