Strengths

“Pupils enjoy coming to this inclusive school.”

“The pupils are a credit to the school.”

To improve

“However, leaders have a little more work to do in a few subjects to make sure that pupils continue to deepen their knowledge over time.”
“In history, leaders have not identified all the key knowledge pupils should learn or the order in which they should learn it.”
“Some pupils do not always recall important knowledge or use subject-specific vocabulary confidently in these subjects.”
