Strengths
- “Pupils are happy at this welcoming school.”
- “Leaders have created an inclusive and nurturing environment.”
- “They make sure that values such as respect, cooperation and honesty are at the centre of everything they do.”
To improve
- “However, this is not consistently the case in all subjects.”
- “In some subjects, for example in history, the important knowledge that pupils need to learn is not yet identified in full.”
- “In this subject, there is too much emphasis on teaching skills rather than developing pupils’ knowledge of the past.”
