Strengths
- “Pupils at this school are happy, safe and successful.”
- “They benefit from following an ambitious and varied school curriculum from the early years upwards.”
- “The school has high expectations.”
To improve

- “While pupils can explain well what they are currently learning, they struggle to recall prior knowledge in these subjects.”
- “This limits the depth of understanding and connections pupils can make in their learning.”
