Strengths
- “Pupils are safe, happy and secure.”
- “They are surrounded by adults and peers who know them well and care for them at this small friendly school.”
- “An adult with a listening ear is never far away if pupils need to share a worry.”
To improve
- “These systems are not yet fully in place across the wider curriculum.”
- “This makes it harder for teachers to identify and build on pupils’ prior knowledge successfully in these subjects.”
