Strengths

“Stonehill provides pupils with a caring and nurturing environment.”
“They ensure that pupils are happy and ready to learn.”
“The trusting relationships pupils share with adults help them to feel safe and well cared for.”

To improve

“Leaders have not yet fully established these new plans.”
“This means that while pupils recall facts, some do not make links to build learning.”
“As a result, pupils do not develop a deep knowledge of the things that they learn in a few subjects.”
