Strengths
- “Everyone at this school is part of ‘Team Tunbury’.”
- “Leaders have created a collaborative community.”
- “There is a real spirit of togetherness and inclusion.”
To improve
- “However, teachers do not always ensure that these gaps have been addressed effectively before moving pupils on to new learning.”
- “This means that, sometimes, pupils do not always remember what they have learned over time securely.”
- “Pupils recognise that there are rare times when behaviour is not as good as it should be.”
