Strengths
- “This is a highly inclusive school.”
- “Pupils arrive to the school and are greeted by smiling staff and music that builds excitement for the day ahead.”
- “The school’s learning superheroes are a golden thread that runs through the school.”
To improve
- “Pupils acknowledge that sometimes bullying might happen.”
- “However, in some areas of the wider curriculum, the school is still refining exactly what should be taught and when.”
- “This means that teachers are not always clear on the precise knowledge that pupils should learn and when they should learn it.”
