Strengths
- “Pupils bounce happily into school each morning.”
- “They enjoy learning and playing with their friends.”
- “They look forward to the exciting range of events the school provides.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, the curriculum is sometimes very broad and wide ranging.”
- “This makes it harder for teachers to identify the most important knowledge and understanding for pupils, and check that they have remembered it over time This means that sometimes pupils do not gain and remember the key knowledge they need for successful future learning, as well as they could.”
- “Since the pandemic, there has been more pupil absence.”
