Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to school.”
- “They are happy in lessons and when they meet with their friends at breaktime or in school clubs.”
- “Relationships in school are friendly and kind.”
To improve

- “However, in a few subjects, teachers are not clear about what pupils remember.”
- “As a result, in these subjects, new learning does not always build on what pupils know and can do.”
