Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and eager to learn.”
- “They thrive in this calm and friendly school.”
- “Pupils know that staff care about them.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, the key knowledge that the school wants pupils to learn is not clear.”
- “This means that teachers do not know what they should emphasise or check when they are teaching.”
- “Consequently, some pupils do not learn all that they should.”
