Strengths
- “Pupils thrive in this inclusive and nurturing school where each child is encouraged to be proud of what makes them unique.”
- “Pupils value and celebrate the different cultures and backgrounds that make up their community.”
- “Kindness is at the core of the school’s values.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, some teachers do not consistently check whether pupils have learned and understood the key knowledge they should know or identify and correct any misunderstandings.”
- “Pupils, therefore, cannot always recall and apply different knowledge and skills to remember more across the curriculum.”
