Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy learning at this friendly, safe and welcoming school.”
- “The school has created a nurturing environment for pupils and their families.”
- “Pupils embrace the school’s vision of ‘love your neighbour’.”
To improve
- “However, despite improvements in reading, writing and mathematics, pupils’ writing in some areas of the curriculum is not as effective.”
- “Where the school’s curriculum is less effective, the important knowledge that pupils need to know and remember is not identified as precisely.”
- “As a result, pupils’ knowledge is less secure.”
