Strengths

- “This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, who are fully involved in the life of the school.”
- “High expectations are set for all pupils.”
To improve
- “However, they were less confident in explaining their learning about sculpture.”
- “This is because more-formal checks on how well pupils are securing their knowledge are not yet fully embedded.”
- “Aspects of pupils’ wider mathematical understanding, such as reasoning and problem-solving, are more variable.”
