Strengths
- “Pupils thrive at this happy school.”
- “This is because it is a school where all adults take the time to get to know each pupil as an individual.”
- “Thanks to this, pupils consistently describe the school as a family.”
To improve
- “Where teaching is sometimes less precise, teachers' selection of tasks can be less effective in building pupils' understanding over time, or teachers are less systematic in picking up or addressing misconceptions in pupils' understanding.”
