Strengths
- “Pupils walk happily through the school gate each morning.”
- “They are greeted by caring staff who know them well.”
- “Staff and pupils build warm relationships across the school.”
To improve
- “Where the teaching of technical vocabulary is less effective, pupils are not always able to discuss their learning and explain their thinking clearly.”
- “This means that some pupils do not progress as well as they could.”
- “However, this is not always precise and some pupils' misconceptions are not picked up quickly enough.”
