Strengths

- “Pupils are determined to make sure that everyone feels like they belong.”
- “For example, they are proud of the sign that welcomes visitors in many different languages.”
To improve
- “In a few other subjects, the school is still in the process of refining the most important information that pupils need to remember.”
- “In these subjects, teachers are not clear about the information that they should emphasise when revisiting and checking pupils’ learning.”
- “This means that some pupils do not develop secure bodies of knowledge over time.”
