Strengths

“This is a happy school at the heart of its community.”
“Parents and carers, and those responsible for governance, are overwhelmingly supportive, and committed, to both the school’s, and its pupils’, success.”
“There is a strong sense of citizenship.”

To improve

“However, in those subjects that are at an earlier stage of development, inconsistencies in the delivery of the curriculum occasionally occur.”
“When this happens, teaching activities do not support the learning of the intended curriculum as well as they could, and pupils’ misconceptions are not identified or addressed in a timely way.”
“This negatively impacts pupils deepening their understanding.”
