Strengths
- “Pupils are taught to care about themselves and each other.”
- “They show respect and kindness to their peers and to staff.”
- “Older pupils support younger pupils at playtimes by organising games.”
To improve
- “As a result, essential knowledge is not taught consistently well across some subject areas, including the early years.”
- “This means that, sometimes, pupils cannot make connections between important concepts.”
