Strengths
- “This welcoming and inclusive school is wholeheartedly focused on its pupils.”
- “Pupils settle in quickly when they arrive.”
- “They understand that staff care for them and want them to succeed.”
To improve
- “However, on some occasions, teachers move pupils on to new learning before their knowledge has been checked.”
- “This leads to gaps in pupils’ understanding not being addressed or pupils not being ready for what they are asked to do next.”
- “However, there is some variability in how well the curriculum is adapted for disadvantaged pupils.”
