Strengths
- “Leaders, governors and staff realise the school’s vision and ensure that all pupils succeed.”
- “Pupils, including those from disadvantaged backgrounds, achieve strongly across the school.”
- “Pupils benefit from a strong academic curriculum and high-quality teaching.”
To improve
- “On occasion, staff in early years do not extend or deepen children’s knowledge and skills deeply.”
- “In the primary phase, sometimes, the implementation of leaders’ aspirational curricular thinking is not fully realised.”
- “This is because, on occasion, in a few subjects, teaching does not fully check pupils’ knowledge securely.”
