Strengths
- “Pupils develop a strong sense of community and individuality in this school’s nurturing environment.”
- “They support and care for each other as they embrace the school’s value of ‘togetherness’, celebrating each other’s achievements and jointly planning community projects.”
- “Pupils have highly positive attitudes to their work.”
To improve
- “A few subjects have newly introduced content, so teachers are refining their understanding of how important knowledge builds over time.”
- “As a result, in these subjects, teachers’ checks on pupils’ learning are not always as effective, and adjustments to learning do not consistently support pupils’ progress as well as in more established subjects.”
- “However, some pupils remember the topic generally rather than the most important learning.”
