Strengths

- “The school’s values, which include ‘respect’ and to ‘be ready and safe’, underpin pupils’ everyday actions.”
- “Pupils appreciate the kind, caring nature of staff and their peers.”
To improve

- “This is because the support they receive is not always fully effective.”
- “This has led staff to realise pupils do not always remember their learning in the depth they could.”
