Strengths
- “Pupils are rightly proud of their school and the many opportunities they experience.”
- “Warm, supportive relationships feature throughout the school.”
- “These help pupils to feel happy and safe in school.”
To improve
- “However, in a small minority of subjects, teaching does not consistently build on what pupils already know well.”
- “The school does not check what pupils know and remember to enable them to make links between concepts well enough.”
- “As a result, some pupils have gaps in their learning and struggle to remember what they have learned.”
