Strengths
- “Pupils benefit from attending this inclusive and warm school.”
- “They are proud to show their school values of ‘happy, healthy, high achievers’.”
- “Pupils take part in a wide range of activities that build their character and confidence exceptionally well.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, there is some inconsistency in what teachers expect of pupils and how they match learning to what pupils need to know.”
- “While pupils do exceptionally well in end of key stage national tests, this inconsistency means that leaders do not know if pupils in all year groups are building knowledge effectively across the whole curriculum as intended.”
- “However, they do not check consistently that the curriculum is being fully developed in all subject areas.”
