Strengths
- “Pupils make the most of life by the seaside.”
- “They also enjoy learning about the wider world.”
- “These provide opportunities for pupils to mingle, learn about nature and become more independent.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, leaders are still refining the curriculum sequence.”
- “In these subjects, pupils do not secure as deep an understanding of the important knowledge as they do in others.”
- “Some staff are still getting to grips with the school and federation’s expectations of rigour in lessons, where pupils use their writing skills.”
