Strengths

- “They greatly value everyone’s unique qualities.”
- “Pupils explained to inspectors that everyone is welcome at this school and that difference is to be celebrated.”
To improve
- “However, a few subjects in the wider curriculum are not so well developed and curriculum content is not so clear.”
- “In subjects such as geography and history, leaders have not yet identified or sequenced content well enough.”
- “This means that pupils are not able to build on previous learning as well as they do in other subjects.”
