Strengths
- “Leaders and staff ensure that pupils feel part of a friendly community.”
- “Pupils are taught to appreciate the importance of treating everyone with respect and care.”
- “All pupils are valued regardless of their differences.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, leaders have not assured themselves that the curriculum is being delivered as intended by all teachers.”
- “Some teachers do not ensure that the important vocabulary set out in the subject curriculums is taught well.”
- “Consequently, some pupils lack the vocabulary they need to access future learning.”
