Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and enjoy attending school.”
- “This is because staff create a safe, calm and orderly environment.”
- “All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), access the ambitious curriculum.”
To improve
- “Some staff do not routinely check what pupils know and have learned.”
- “This leads to some teaching not being appropriately adapted to meet the immediate needs of pupils within the lesson.”
- “As a result, some pupils do not secure, strengthen or deepen their understanding before the teacher moves on to new content.”
