Strengths
- “This is a friendly school where pupils develop the confidence to be themselves.”
- “Pupils experience a rich curriculum that extends their understanding across a broad range of subjects.”
- “They are keen to share what they know and are curious to learn more.”
To improve
- “Leaders recognise that there is work to do to deepen staff’s subject knowledge in the foundation subjects.”
- “Because of this, teachers do not consistently plan lessons that help pupils secure their knowledge in the foundation subjects as well as they do in reading and mathematics.”
