Strengths
- “Pupils feel safe, cared for and welcome at this school.”
- “Routines are clear, and staff help pupils to settle quickly.”
- “Pupils trust adults and know who to talk to if they feel worried or upset.”
To improve
- “Pupils' learning in other subjects does not, however, consistently show the same depth and confidence.”
- “Some differences remain across subjects in how effectively staff address gaps in pupils' knowledge, pupils' misconceptions and errors in pupils' basic writing skills, such as handwriting and grammar.”
- “Leaders understand this and continue to refine teaching so that expectations, feedback and depth of learning reach the same high levels across all classrooms and subjects.”
