Strengths
- “This is a calm and happy school, that pupils are proud of.”
- “Pupils say that the school is ‘like a family’.”
- “The staff know the pupils and their families really well and they establish warm and nurturing relationships.”
To improve
- “While staff say this has had a positive impact on pupils’ learning, subject leaders have not fully evaluated the impact of their curriculum areas on the quality of pupils’ outcomes.”
- “However, at times, the teaching and resources are not adapted as well as they could be, and therefore a few pupils do not always learn as well as they could.”
