- “Staff know pupils well and always have their best interests at heart, with many pupils saying, ‘Staff here really care.”
- “Pupils and staff feel proud to belong to this harmonious and welcoming school community.”
To improve
- “However, on some occasions, teachers do not check that pupils have understood what they have been taught before introducing new learning.”
- “This means gaps in pupils’ knowledge are not always identified or addressed quickly enough, and this slows their learning.”
- “However, staff do not always make sure that all pupils follow the new routines and rules.”
