Strengths
- “Pupils at this school are friendly, positive and respectful members of the school community.”
- “They are happy and feel safe in school.”
- “Parents agree that pupils are safe.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of foundation subjects, the curriculum does not identify essential knowledge precisely enough.”
- “The curriculum design and assessment of what pupils know and can do in these subjects are not as effective.”
- “This means that pupils are less clear about what important facts they need to recall.”
