Strengths
- “Pupils are safe and well cared for at this school.”
- “They value the support they receive from staff and friends.”
- “Pupils know and display their school values in their interactions with others.”
To improve

- “This limits pupils’ recall of important subject content.”
- “However, on occasion, teaching does not develop pupils’ knowledge and understanding of subject-specific vocabulary with precision.”
