Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy belonging to this happy school community where everyone knows each other well.”
- “Pupils are welcoming, polite and respectful.”
- “They feel safe and enjoy learning how to stay safe.”
To improve
- “While leaders ensure that teachers have the guidance that they need to deliver these curriculums, teachers have had insufficient opportunity to develop staff’s subject knowledge.”
- “This means that in a small number of subjects, the curriculum is not delivered as effectively as it is in others.”
- “Pupils’ knowledge is uneven as a result.”
