Strengths
- “Pupils experience the school's vision of 'everyone learns, everyone leads, everyone matters'.”
- “For example, every pupil in the school undertakes one of the numerous pupil leadership opportunities.”
- “Pupils benefit from leaders’ determined approach to ensure everybody has a role to play to make the school a positive and inclusive community.”
To improve
- “However, in some areas, including early writing, leaders have identified essential knowledge but have not defined the end points precisely enough.”
- “This leads to some inconsistency in how the curriculum is implemented across classes.”
- “However, some of these activities lack a clear purpose.”
