Strengths
- “This close-knit, nurturing school has high-quality pastoral care.”
- “Pupils and parents value the support it offers.”
- “Staff are ambitious for what pupils can, and will, achieve academically.”
To improve
- “However, this is not consistent across the school.”
- “When staff identify misconceptions, especially in pupils’ written work, they do not always ensure pupils have rectified these before moving on to new learning.”
- “This leaves gaps in pupils’ knowledge and understanding.”
