Strengths
- “Pupils and their parents enjoy being part of this tight-knit community.”
- “Pupils love their school, feeling safe and very well cared for by staff.”
- “Strong relationships exist between pupils across year groups.”
To improve
- “The school recognises that changes in leadership over recent years have had a negative impact on pupils’ learning.”
- “However, current weaknesses in how the curriculum is designed and delivered means that pupils do not achieve as well as they should.”
- “However, while the new curriculum is being prepared, there is not currently clear oversight of how well pupils are learning across all subjects.”
