Good Inspected 14 May 2024
Strengths
- “The adults quickly get to know the pupils and their families well.”
- “Pupils trust that there is always an adult they can talk to who will listen and help them.”
- “Pupils are hardworking and respectful in class.”
To improve
- “However, in some foundation subjects, teachers are not doing this as well.”
- “When this happens, teachers are not always able to identify what pupils have learned.”
- “As a result, gaps in pupils’ knowledge are not always addressed, and pupils have some misunderstanding about certain topics.”
