Strengths

- “They appreciate the caring staff, who swiftly resolve any concerns or worries.”
To improve
- “However, on some occasions in the wider subjects, the curriculum is not delivered as well as leaders intend.”
- “For example, sometimes teachers do not ensure that pupils are clear how they should set about their work.”
- “This means, in those cases, pupils do not achieve as well as they could.”
