Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to attend this multi-cultural school, they value and celebrate difference.”
- “The school threads the values of kindness and respect through all aspects of school life.”
- “Positive relationships are at the heart of the school.”
To improve
- “However, in a minority of wider curriculum subjects, the school has not identified key knowledge with the same clarity and so the progression of learning is not as clear.”
- “This makes it difficult for some pupils to make links with what they have learned before and prevents them from building a depth of knowledge over time.”
