Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to this welcoming and inclusive school.”
- “They talk confidently about the school’s values and Christian ethos.”
- “Pupils understand how these values help them to be compassionate, kind and friendly.”
To improve
- “While leaders have put in place a well-planned curriculum that sets out the important knowledge that pupils need to know, the implementation of this curriculum is not as effective in some subjects as in others.”
- “Some teachers do not routinely check what pupils know well enough before moving on to new learning.”
- “Future learning does not take into account what pupils remember over time.”
