Strengths
- “Pupils, including children in the early years, enjoy coming to school.”
- “Teachers greet pupils warmly each morning.”
- “Pupils settle down to work quickly and sensibly.”
To improve
- “Nevertheless, in a small number of subjects, leaders have introduced revised curriculums more recently.”
- “As a result, some pupils have gaps in aspects of their prior knowledge.”
- “This hinders these pupils in building securely on earlier learning and making links with new content.”
