Strengths
- “Pupils flourish in this caring and nurturing school.”
- “They feel safe because they trust all staff to help them if they need it.”
- “Pupils show great kindness to their friends, striving to demonstrate the school values of respect and friendship.”
To improve
- “However, in subjects such as science and geography, learning is not as precisely identified.”
- “This means pupils do not always securely learn the smaller blocks of knowledge to help them see the bigger ideas.”
- “As a result, some pupils struggle to remember learning as well as they should, and can develop gaps in knowledge.”
