Strengths
- “Staff get to know pupils and their families exceptionally well.”
- “They say the staff really care about them and they feel well looked after.”
- “Staff help pupils understand the school’s high expectations for behaviour by being continual role models.”
To improve
- “Some subjects are still in the earlier stages of development.”
- “In these subjects, the plans are not yet precise enough about the knowledge pupils need to acquire, or the exact sequence for learning it.”
- “Where this is the case, lessons are less effective, and pupils do not gain the necessary knowledge for future learning.”
