Strengths
- “Promoting pupils’ personal development is at the heart of the school’s work.”
- “Leaders and staff, supported by parents and carers, work together to develop pupils’ independence so they are well prepared for the next steps in their education.”
- “The school wants pupils to achieve their very best, and these high expectations are evident in the high-quality of learning that pupils experience.”
To improve
- “However, in some instances, the choice of activity is not closely matched to the needs of pupils and can either be too easy or too difficult.”
- “Also, in some cases, staff give pupils too much help, which hinders pupils’ growth as independent learners.”
