Strengths
- “A warm and caring Christian ethos is central to the improvements that leaders have made at the school.”
- “‘Building happiness and success’ is the school’s vision, and this is happening for most pupils.”
- “Children get off to a great start in the early years.”
To improve
- “However, opportunities to learn subject-related skills, techniques or methods are not as well planned or taught in some other subjects.”
- “However, in other classes, teachers have not assured themselves that pupils have learned and can remember the essential knowledge from the lesson.”
- “However, for some pupils with social, emotional or mental health needs, teachers do not always consider how to adapt lessons to keep them fully engaged in all lessons.”
