Strengths
- “Pupils come to school happy and eager to learn.”
- “In history, for instance, they enjoy learning about the Egyptians, Victorians and local historic figures.”
- “Pupils receive a highquality education and achieve well as a result.”
To improve
- “However, some children in Reception Year do not develop their language sufficiently.”
- “This is because teaching sometimes does not focus sharply enough on building children’s vocabulary.”
- “In a few subjects, however, teaching lacks the subject expertise to deepen pupils’ understanding.”
