Strengths
- “The school’s motto of ‘we shine’ is the thread that links together all that the school does.”
- “Relationships between staff and pupils are a real strength.”
- “Adults care for pupils and their families.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, however, the guidance for teachers is not as helpful, which means that they do not build pupils’ knowledge as strongly.”
- “However, as they acknowledge, further work is needed to make sure that all teachers know to adapt learning so that all pupils can be successful learners.”
- “This is particularly the case in the few subjects that are less well developed.”
