Strengths
- “Pupils feel included and valued as part of a caring and cohesive school community.”
- “This is underpinned by the positive relationships between staff and pupils.”
- “Pupils describe staff as kind, approachable and supportive.”
To improve
- “Occasionally, some staff do not check pupils' understanding and address misconceptions quickly enough.”
- “There is therefore some variability in how well teachers use assessment to adjust the curriculum and their teaching.”
- “However, pupils' understanding of these concepts is not consistently well embedded, with some pupils struggling to articulate these ideas with clarity or depth.”
