Strengths
- “Everyone is welcomed and included when they join the school.”
- “Visiting speakers with diverse experiences help pupils consider viewpoints and perspectives that may be different to their own.”
- “At breaktimes, pupils play together joyfully.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, teaching does not make the most important information explicit and check pupils remember it.”
- “Where this is the case, the school misses where some gaps in pupils’ knowledge exist.”
- “As a result, sometimes pupils struggle to connect current learning to what they learned before.”
