Strengths
- “Pupils, including children in the early years, are proud to belong to this warm and welcoming school.”
- “They have trusting relationships with staff and know that staff will help them if they have any worries.”
- “Pupils behave well in lessons and play happily together at social times.”
To improve
- “However, at times, the activities that pupils complete do not support them effectively to apply their new knowledge.”
- “This means that, for some pupils, their learning does not build securely and they struggle to remember key knowledge in the longer term.”
- “However, in a small number of subjects, systems to check for understanding are still being refined.”
