Strengths
- “Pupils are proud of their school.”
- “The school works closely with pupils and their families to build a positive culture of belonging and mutual respect.”
- “This culture is enhanced by the various multicultural events celebrating difference and diversity.”
To improve
- “However, pupils’ results in recent national tests and assessments do not yet match the high-quality curriculum that pupils experience day to day.”
- “Sometimes, teachers do not spot if a pupil needs extra help or has finished their work early.”
- “In these instances, pupils can have gaps in their understanding or miss out on opportunities to practise and deepen their learning.”
