Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to school because they feel cared for and successful.”
- “Staff have high expectations of how pupils should behave and how well they can do in their work.”
- “Pupils have the utmost respect for their teachers and so rise to these expectations.”
To improve
- “Although this is clearly planned out for teachers, in some cases, teachers lack important subject knowledge in parts of the curriculum.”
- “This can mean that teachers miss opportunities to address misconceptions or do not spot when they have given work to pupils that they are not quite ready for.”
- “Leaders recognise that some pupils with SEND with specific difficulties in writing would benefit from further support.”
