Strengths
- “Pupils and staff live up to the school’s values of ‘friendship, respect and responsibility’.”
- “These values help pupils to know right from wrong.”
- “Pupils are polite and kind towards each other.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, leaders have not yet identified the precise order in which pupils will learn new knowledge.”
- “Where this is the case, pupils do not consistently connect all their learning with what they already know.”
- “Despite this, some pupils at the early stages of reading find sounding out and putting words back together tricky.”
