Strengths
- “Pupils are happy, and love their school.”
- “They have a good understanding of their school values of ‘love, respect and courage’, and this is demonstrated through the warm and caring relationships around the school.”
- “Pupils feel safe, and know whom they can go to if they have any worries or concerns.”
To improve
- “The curriculum development and design have been completed recently, which means that teaching in some subjects is not as effective as it is in others.”
- “In other foundation subjects, the planning is clearly ambitious, but not as fully embedded as it is in the core subjects.”
- “There is variability in the quality of work pupils produce in these subjects as a result.”
