Strengths
- “Pupils speak with pride about their school and enjoy their lessons.”
- “They are wellmannered, polite and welcoming.”
- “Pupils have frequent opportunities to develop their interests and their character.”
To improve
- “Pupils enjoy this approach and are keen to talk about their learning but do not always recall the knowledge that the school intends they gain.”
- “However, the checking of what pupils know and can remember is not secure across the school.”
- “In some cases, pupils move on to work independently when they still need help.”
