Strengths

- “The school’s core values, such as love, hope and compassion, are not platitudes; they are enacted.”
- “Pupils trust adults to keep them safe, resulting in a feeling of confidence and self-belief.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, this is not the case.”
- “Some pupils struggle to link new learning to what they already know, make sense of new content and embed knowledge in their long-term memory.”
