Strengths
- “Pupils thrive at this small school, which has a ‘family feel’.”
- “Kind and caring relationships are at the heart of it.”
- “These help to ensure pupils feel safe to learn and to play.”
To improve
- “However, the curriculum in a few foundation subjects does not yet set out clearly enough the vocabulary and knowledge pupils should learn.”
- “This means teachers cannot check precisely what pupils have remembered.”
- “Therefore, they cannot pinpoint next steps in learning with enough accuracy.”
