Strengths
- “Pupils are proud members of their caring and inclusive school.”
- “As a result, they form close friendships and play harmoniously together in mixed ages during social times.”
- “Pupils are happy and kind to each other.”
To improve
- “Occasionally, some staff do not draw well enough on their checks of pupils’ learning to adapt and teach the curriculum as well as they could.”
- “As a result, gaps in knowledge that pupils may have are not closing as quickly as the school would like, and a few pupils’ knowledge is not as deep as it could be.”
- “However, some aspects of the school’s work to support pupils’ personal development are not designed or implemented consistently well.”
