Strengths

“Pupils enjoy coming to Flying High Academy because they like to learn.”
“They feel safe because they know that if they have any worries, they can tell an adult or pop a note in a box that the ‘worry monster’ sits on.”
“Pupils know that adults will check the notes that are in the box under this soft toy and provide help for anyone who needs it.”

To improve

“However, some books that pupils are given, particularly for pupils in Year 2, are not quite right for them.”
“Some subjects are not planned in as much detail.”
“However, they have not finished setting out in detail the most important things that will be taught to pupils in every subject.”
