Strengths
- “The school is a close and welcoming community.”
- “Pupils are confident and happy.”
- “Their attitudes to each other and adults are highly positive.”
To improve
- “However, activities in subjects other than mathematics and English do not routinely focus on the key knowledge.”
- “This means that pupils enjoy learning but do not consistently understand and recall important curriculum content over time.”
- “In other areas of the curriculum, some checks of children’s understanding lack rigour.”
