Strengths
- “Pupils at this school belong to a warm and inclusive community.”
- “Staff greet them by name each morning and make sure they feel noticed and welcomed.”
- “Children in the early years settle quickly because adults teach routines clearly and build trusting relationships.”
To improve
- “However, teaching in some wider curriculum subjects does not always help pupils to think deeply or to remember important knowledge.”
- “However, in the wider curriculum, teachers do not use assessment consistently well to inform and adapt teaching.”
- “Tasks are often heavily structured, which reduces pupils’ independence and flair.”
