Strengths
- “The pupils and staff make up a close and caring community.”
- “Pupils are kind to each other and younger pupils say that older pupils look out for them.”
- “Parents and pupils describe the school as having a ‘family feel’.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, such as history and geography, plans are less clear about what pupils need to know and be able to do.”
- “As a result, teachers do not focus their teaching and assessment as precisely on the most important knowledge and skills which pupils need.”
