Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending this happy and welcoming school.”
- “They feel safe and well cared for.”
- “Pupils have positive and respectful relationships with each other.”
To improve
- “Published outcomes do not reflect the school’s current quality of education.”
- “However, in a few curriculum subjects, some pupils do not build their knowledge sequentially, and there are gaps in what they know and remember.”
- “This is because teachers do not routinely check that pupils have remembered what they have learned over time.”
