Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to attend their welcoming and inclusive school.”
- “They form strong relationships with staff and know who to talk to if they have a worry.”
- “Pupils trust staff to act on any concerns they might have.”
To improve
- “Teachers’ checks on how well pupils remember what they learn in the wider curriculum are at an early stage.”
- “The school is not always clear what pupils know in some subjects or where they have gaps in their learning.”
- “As a result, teaching is not consistently well matched to what pupils need to learn and some pupils do not achieve as well as they could in these subjects.”
