Strengths

“Pupils are happy to attend this safe and welcoming school.”
“Many describe it as fun and caring.”
“Pupils uphold the school’s values of community, love, respect and perseverance.”

To improve

“However, in a few subjects, it is not sufficiently clear how new learning connects to prior knowledge.”
“This prevents pupils from deepening their understanding of concepts.”
“Furthermore, in some wider curriculum subjects, the school is still developing systems to check that pupils remember what they learn in the long term.”
