Strengths
- “Pupils love coming to this school and enjoy being part of ‘Team Bartons’.”
- “They arrive each day motivated to learn.”
- “The school sets high expectations for pupils’ learning and behaviour.”
To improve
- “In particular, teachers’ checks on pupils’ learning are not as effective as they could be in wider curriculum subjects.”

- “In addition, expectations of what pupils can achieve are not always high enough.”
