Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to belong to this friendly and welcoming school.”
- “They are happy and attend well.”
- “Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), benefit from positive and supportive relationships with the adults in the school.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, the school has not considered the end points that the curriculum is building towards.”
- “This means that the knowledge and skills that pupils need to retain to reach those end points are not sufficiently clear.”
- “Consequently, in these subjects, some pupils do not build their knowledge well or remember enough of their learning over time.”
