Strengths
- “Pupils eagerly come to this caring school knowing that they will have an exciting and inspiring day ahead.”
- “The teachers have high expectations of what pupils will achieve in their learning.”
- “Alongside this, the school’s values and embedded golden rule help pupils know how to behave and treat others with the utmost respect.”
To improve
- “However, in a few foundation subjects, such as modern foreign languages, leaders have not yet set out exactly what should be learned and the order in which to learn it.”
- “In the early years, leaders have not yet considered precisely enough what they want children to learn and how this is built on in Year 1 and beyond.”
- “Across the outdoor environment, some activities set up do not always have a clear learning focus.”
