Strengths
- “Leaders have created a school where pupils are safe and happy.”
- “Pupils know that staff want the best for them.”
- “The mutual respect shown between pupils and staff ensures that learning takes place in a supportive and nurturing environment.”
To improve
- “However, pupils learn better in some subjects than in others.”
- “This is because the curriculum is not delivered consistently well.”
- “Consequently, some pupils' understanding of key knowledge and the foundational learning in reading, writing and mathematics needed for success is not as secure as it should be.”
