Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and safe in school.”
- “Parents and carers typically value the school and described it as ‘caring’ and ‘supportive’.”
- “Leaders have high expectations of all pupils.”
To improve
- “However, this coherent thinking is not in place for all subjects of the curriculum.”
- “In a very few subjects, where leaders have not thought about what they want pupils to learn and in what order, the development of pupils’ knowledge and skills in these subjects is hindered.”
- “Support for pupils with SEND is variable.”
