Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to this school.”
- “They described it to inspectors as an ‘extended family’.”
- “There are strong relationships between staff and pupils of all ages.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, teachers do not design learning precisely enough in order to help some pupils to deepen their knowledge over time.”
- “The checks that the school makes to ensure the successful delivery of the curriculum in this small number of subjects are not sharp enough.”
- “This means that this variability in learning design is not addressed sufficiently well.”
