Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending this calm and welcoming school.”
- “They speak proudly about their learning and the way staff help them to succeed.”
- “Familiar routines support pupils to settle quickly and make the most of each day.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, tasks occasionally lack depth or clarity.”
- “As a result, older pupils do not always produce work that reflects their growing understanding or enables them to explain their thinking in detail.”
- “While this is beginning to be effective, the approach is not yet embedded.”
