Strengths

- “They are kind and respectful towards one another.”
- “Those who arrive mid-year or mid-phase are welcomed warmly and helped to settle into the school’s well-established routines.”
To improve
- “They are beginning to consider how to widen their oversight of the quality of education, so it routinely stretches beyond the school’s current development priorities.”
