Strengths

- “Staff, and parents and carers, say that the school has a ‘real family feel’, where everyone is warmly welcomed.”
- “Pupils say they are happy to be part of such a special place.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, the curriculum does not set out clearly the precise knowledge that pupils should learn.”
- “However, pupils do not always get the chance to revisit parts of the curriculum that they found tricky.”
- “Checks of what pupils know and remember or how they are helped to remember important knowledge over time are not yet in place in some subjects.”
