Strengths
- “The school’s motto of being ‘rooted and grounded in love’ describes this school well.”
- “Pupils told inspectors that attending the school is like being part of ‘one big family’.”
- “They know that adults care about them.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, teachers do not use assessment strategies precisely enough to identify specific gaps in pupils’ knowledge.”
- “This means that teachers are not as informed as they could be in shaping the next steps that pupils should take.”
- “This prevents some pupils from learning as well as they could.”
