Strengths
- “This is a small school with a big heart.”
- “Pupils are good friends to each other.”
- “The school gives a warm welcome to any new pupils who join them.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, the most important knowledge that pupils must remember is not clearly identified in the curriculum.”
- “This means that teachers do not focus enough time on what is most important in the unit of study.”
- “As a result, pupils do not always remember the key points in the subject over time.”
