Strengths
- “Pupils are greeted warmly by staff each morning.”
- “Relationships between staff and pupils are caring and respectful.”
- “As a result, pupils feel safe and know they can talk to staff if they are worried.”
To improve
- “Although the school has high expectations for pupils’ achievement, these aspirations are not always met.”
- “However, they do not achieve as well as they should.”
- “This is because the school has not ensured that teachers consistently identify and address errors and misconceptions in pupils’ work.”
