Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending this welcoming and nurturing school.”
- “Pupils exemplify these through highly respectful interactions with staff and each other.”
- “They treat each other kindly and play together happily during social times.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, this knowledge is not identified as clearly as in others.”
- “This means the work pupils complete does not always connect new knowledge to what pupils already know as securely.”
- “Therefore, pupils do not understand and remember as much as they could.”
