- “This supports a settled start to the day.”
- “In classrooms, pupils are generally engaged in their learning.”
To improve
- “During social times and around the school, some pupils do not behave well enough due to inconsistencies in the approach to managing behaviour.”
- “However, across the school, the quality of the curriculum and teaching is inconsistent.”
- “This results in some pupils not progressing as well as they could.”
