Strengths

“Pupils understand the importance of being kind to one another.”
“They understand that the school rules help them to know how to treat one another.”

To improve

“In some subjects, pupils do not always have opportunities to recall earlier learning.”
“As a result, their knowledge and understanding are less secure.”
