Strengths
- “This is a happy school where pupils are kind to each other.”
- “Older pupils look after younger pupils and support them to enjoy school.”
- “They help them to listen to stories in school assemblies and worship.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes the checks that teachers make do not give them enough information about what pupils know and can do.”
- “This means that, on occasion, teachers do not give pupils the help that they need.”
- “However, staff do not clearly identify the specific support that pupils need to be successful against their individual barriers.”
