Strengths

“Pupils are very happy at school.”
“They feel part of the ‘Peartree family’, where adults are pleased to see them each day.”
“School is a happy, warm and calm place to learn in.”

To improve

“In a few subjects, however, they are less clear about the precise knowledge that they want pupils to learn, including the key subject vocabulary.”
“Where this happens, teachers are unsure about the most important content that pupils need to remember.”
“As a result, pupils do not recall their prior learning or use it effectively to tackle new learning.”
