Strengths
- “Pupils are incredibly proud to be a part of this nurturing and caring school.”
- “They are confident, kind and highly articulate individuals.”
- “Older pupils, in particular, can speak with maturity and clarity about a range of different topics.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes, teaching is not adapted well enough to help pupils to embed important knowledge.”
- “Consequently, occasionally some of the approaches used do not help a small number of pupils, including those with SEND, to learn the curriculum as securely as they could.”
- “At the end of the previous academic year, the school quickly recognised that some pupils were not achieving as well as they could in phonics and in English, grammar punctuation and spelling.”
