Strengths
- “This is a very warm and welcoming school, which has a strong, inclusive ethos.”
- “Pupils live out the school’s value, ’We learn to love everyone as Jesus loves us’.”
- “They are highly respectful of each other, staff and visitors.”
To improve
- “However, from time-to-time, teachers’ checks on what pupils know are not as effective as they could be.”
- “This means that some pupils spend more time learning things that they already understand, as opposed to deepening their learning.”
- “However, this is not routinely the case, and this affects how well some pupils’ writing demonstrates their understanding.”
