Strengths
- “Pupils love their school because they learn well, play happily and feel safe.”
- “Pupils know that their teachers care about them.”
- “Pupils’ welfare is at the forefront of every adult’s mind.”
To improve
- “At times, in some areas of the curriculum, pupils are not given the opportunity to apply their knowledge independently.”
- “This prevents pupils from learning to use their knowledge in new and novel contexts.”
- “However, some reporting systems in school are not always rigorous enough to provide precise information about how well staff are implementing some school policies.”
