Strengths

“Pupils are very happy to come to school.”
“They arrive in the morning excited, ready to learn and try their best.”
“Pupils achieve well in most subjects.”

To improve

“In some subjects, however, pupils do not know with clarity vocabulary that will help them build on previous learning and what the expectations are for the finished task.”
“This means that in these areas of the curriculum, pupils do not always build on what they have learned before or confidently complete work with a high level of pride in the outcome.”
“Occasionally, some children only develop a basic understanding of the activities that have been planned for them.”

Safeguarding: Effective
