Strengths
- “The school is a happy place with a strong sense of community and a ‘family feel’ to it.”
- “Pupils are kind and accepting of one another.”
- “Pupils and staff form warm relationships.”
To improve
- “In a small number of foundation subjects, such as art and design, the school has not considered fully the essential knowledge that pupils should learn.”
- “Assessment processes in these subjects are at the early stages of development, including in key stage 2.”
- “This means that staff are less certain about the knowledge that should be taught and checked.”
