Strengths

“Pupils feel happy and safe in this small, friendly school.”
“They flourish because of the school’s high expectations and the support they get from staff.”
“Pupils believe in themselves, have positive attitudes, and have good relationships with each other, reflecting the school values of ‘family, friendship and faith’.”

To improve

“However, many older pupils still make too many mistakes when writing that are not picked up by teachers.”
“However, subject leaders do not have a firm view of how foundation subjects, and their teaching, could be improved.”
“This is because they have not yet checked on how well the subjects are being taught.”
