Strengths
- “Pupils are part of a warm, welcoming community where they settle quickly because staff know them well and value each child as an individual.”
- “From the early years onwards, pupils feel safe and cared for.”
- “Staff are diligent in spotting any risks and take effective steps to minimise them, while teaching pupils how to keep themselves safe in school and beyond.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects they can occasionally be less successful at building detailed knowledge when teaching does not focus sharply on the most important content.”
- “Leaders are working to embed some of their newer approaches to promoting positive behaviour so these are consistently effective, including for pupils with any additional needs or barriers.”
- “At times, however, staff ask pupils to complete tasks without fully focusing on the key knowledge that they intend pupils to understand.”
