Strengths
- “Pupils attend school with enthusiasm, eager to learn and engage with teachers and peers.”
- “They know they can speak up and share their thoughts, feelings and opinions.”
- “This is because staff provide thoughtful guidance to ensure pupils feel safe, secure and happy.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, curriculum thinking is not as clear as in other subjects.”
- “Where this is the case, learning is not as well thought out and sequenced.”
- “Consequently, pupils do not build up as secure an understanding as they do in the rest of the curriculum.”
