Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to school and speak warmly about staff and each other.”
- “They know the importance of being honest, respectful and working as a team.”
- “Regular assemblies and class debates help pupils to develop their understanding and put these values into practice.”
To improve
- “However, there are times when teaching strategies are not fully adjusted to match pupils' needs or understanding.”
- “As a result, teaching is not as consistent as it could be at consolidating or advancing pupils' knowledge.”
- “Governors have also recently strengthened their oversight of attendance, although their work on this is at an early stage.”
