“They have a wide range of opportunities to learn about the local community and its history through events, trips and visits.”

“However, inconsistencies in how well teachers address errors and misconceptions in lessons mean some pupils continue to make errors over time.”
“This results in a few pupils not achieving as well as they could.”
