Strengths
- “The school provides a warm and caring ethos that enables pupils to fulfil its vision for them to ‘be brave, be kind, be happy’.”
- “Parents and carers, staff and pupils strongly endorse this popular school.”
- “Pupils respond very well to the school’s high expectations in all areas.”
To improve
- “However, teachers’ checks on pupils’ understanding is often limited.”
- “Opportunities for pupils to consolidate their learning do not provide a complete view of what pupils know and can do.”
- “For example, in mathematics, pupils do not receive the opportunities they need to record written calculations and form numbers correctly.”
