Strengths

- “Pupils, including children in early years, benefit from the kind and caring relationships that they forge with staff.”
- “Pupils have a strong, shared understanding of the clear rules and high standards that their teachers set.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, leaders are still refining the essential knowledge that they want pupils to know and remember over time.”

- “Some pupils do not build on their prior learning as well as they could.”
