Strengths
- “Central to the school’s mission is an ‘endeavour to make the school a happy, lively and caring place’, and this is exactly what inspectors found.”
- “The school is a place where pupils feel safe, knowing that the adults care about them.”
- “If pupils have worries or problems, they know someone will listen.”
To improve
- “However, the school’s approach to checking pupils’ understanding is more effective in some subjects than in others.”
- “In addition, in some subjects, the school is still developing ways to support pupils to remember what they have been taught over time.”
- “As a result, in a small number of subjects, some pupils develop gaps in their knowledge.”
