Strengths
- “This is a friendly and inclusive school.”
- “Pupils are encouraged to become responsible, compassionate and resilient citizens.”
- “They are well-mannered and talk proudly about their school.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, teachers do not check pupils’ understanding well enough to adapt learning to meet the needs of all pupils or inform future learning.”
- “Consequently, pupils do not always learn as well as they could.”
- “When this happens, pupils do not have an opportunity to grapple with more complex areas of the curriculum and deepen their knowledge.”
