Strengths
- “This is a school where everyone is made to feel welcome.”
- “Pupils are kind and accepting of others.”
- “They work and play alongside one another, regardless of differences.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, curriculum thinking lacks precision.”
- “In these subjects, it is not as clear what pupils on each ‘curriculum pathway’ are expected to be taught and when.”
- “However, the school’s checks on what pupils know, remember, and can do over time are not routinely effective at picking up and addressing any gaps in pupils’ knowledge.”
Safeguarding: Effective
