Strengths
- “Pupils thrive at this friendly and welcoming school.”
- “They strive for pupils to be resilient, to communicate and show teamwork.”
- “It is at the core of the school’s work and helps pupils to succeed.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, leaders are still working on identifying the essential knowledge that pupils need to learn and by when.”
- “This means that pupils do not gain the same depth of understanding as they do in most other subjects.”
- “However, leaders recognise that some subject leaders have not checked what pupils know and can do.”
