Strengths
- “Pupils are happy at this large and diverse school.”
- “They have positive attitudes to their learning.”
- “The relationships between pupils and teachers are respectful.”
To improve
- “In a minority of wider curriculum subjects this work it is not finished, and the learning of older pupils does not build coherently on what they have learned in key stage 1.”
- “This results in pupils having gaps in their knowledge.”
- “However, for some pupils the work they complete does not always give them the opportunity to practise the skills and knowledge that they need to.”
