Strengths
- “The values of ‘caring, tolerance, passion, reflection and innovation’ shine through this small and inclusive school.”
- “Pupils say that they feel happy and safe here.”
- “This is because they have strong friendships with each other and develop very positive relationships with staff.”
To improve
- “However, the thinking about checks on how well pupils in the school are learning in some foundation subjects is not complete.”
- “This means that teachers do not know how well pupils are doing in all subjects.”
