Strengths
- “This is a happy and welcoming school.”
- “Pupils benefit from positive relationships with caring staff.”
- “These relationships help pupils, and children in the early years, to feel happy and safe.”
To improve
- “While this is the case in some subjects, such as history and music, leaders have not checked the impact of the delivered curriculum well enough.”
- “This limits leaders’ overview of how well pupils know what they have been taught in these subjects.”
