Strengths
- “Pupils feel safe and happy at this highly inclusive school.”
- “They care for each other and are kind and thoughtful.”
- “Pupils value their responsibilities, for example as ‘eco monitors’ who help others to learn about issues such as taking care of the environment.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, the school has not identified the key knowledge that pupils need to learn as clearly.”
- “At times, pupils move through lesson sequences without the secure knowledge to do so.”
- “As a result, some pupils do not learn as successfully, and this has an impact on how well prepared they are for their next stage of learning.”
