Strengths
- “Pupils experience a welcoming school where they are known and well supported.”
- “They follow the school’s rules to be safe, be kind and be positive and use these to guide how they behave.”
- “This helps create a calm atmosphere where most pupils feel respected.”
To improve
- “However, occasional low-level disruption means some pupils do not always learn as well as they could.”
- “However, in some subjects, pupils do not always use accurate spelling, writing or subject vocabulary like they do in English and mathematics.”
- “This means some pupils do not build knowledge securely, so they do not always produce the high-quality work they could across all subjects.”
