Strengths

- “They are motivated by the school’s high expectations, which support them to achieve well.”
- “They demonstrate these through considerate conduct towards others and their positive attitudes to learning.”
To improve

- “Consequently, in these subjects, pupils do not build a secure understanding over time.”
- “However, some teaching does not identify whether pupils have gaps in their knowledge.”
