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.”
