Strengths
- “Strong trusting relationships and exceptional pastoral care support pupils to be safe and happy.”
- “It is especially supportive of those families who face additional challenges.”
- “The school sets high expectations for all its pupils.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, leaders are still developing their systems for checking that pupils are making the progress they intend.”
- “This makes it difficult for subject leaders to fully evaluate the effectiveness of their curriculums and to have an accurate understanding of pupils’ achievement.”
- “However, some activities in early years lack the precision needed to secure children’s foundational knowledge.”
