Strengths
- “Pupils flourish at this small and welcoming school.”
- “They develop a deep enthusiasm for learning and the world around them.”
- “Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, the school is at an earlier stage of identifying the key content.”
- “This means that pupils’ learning does not build on what they have learnt previously.”
- “In subjects where the school’s checks of learning are less well developed, gaps in pupils’ understanding are not identified accurately.”
