Strengths

“This school provides pupils with a good education.”
“Different subjects are organised and taught in interesting ways that motivate pupils.”
“From the early years through to Year 6, lessons are carefully planned and new learning builds on what has gone before.”

To improve

“However, in some other subjects staff record what pupils have covered but do not necessarily prompt them to use what they know so they embed knowledge.”
“This means they sometimes forget things.”

Safeguarding: Effective
