Strengths
- “Pupils thrive in the purposeful and caring atmosphere.”
- “They are very happy at school.”
- “Parents are extremely supportive.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, however, activities and work are not always as well matched as they could be to the knowledge and skills that teachers know pupils need to learn.”
- “However, in a very few areas, they have not clearly pinpointed precisely what needs to be done to make these improvements.”
- “For example, the checks on some of the targets for pupils with SEND, who have higher levels of need, and the impact of the curriculum in the early years, lack a sharp focus.”
