Strengths
- “This is a safe and nurturing school that pupils and staff are proud to be a part of.”
- “Staff are dedicated to helping all pupils to achieve their potential They place a strong emphasis on developing pupils’ aspirations.”
- “The school prioritises pupils’ personal development.”
To improve
- “Generally, the curriculum is coherently planned and sequenced, although sometimes this is not as securely the case across all subjects.”
- “However, the school has not ensured that all staff put the training into practice.”
- “In particular, checks on pupils’ learning are not as routinely well used to identify what pupils know and remember and where there are gaps in their recall, in order to plan what pupils need to learn next.”
