Strengths
- “This is a very welcoming and caring place in which to work and learn.”
- “Leaders and staff have high expectations for pupils’ behaviour and learning.”
- “They set fair rules and make sure everyone understands them.”
To improve
- “However, some other subjects do not provide as many opportunities for pupils to use what they have learned.”
- “However, because the curriculum does not regularly require them to draw on this knowledge in different contexts, they do not develop more complex ways of using what they know.”
