Strengths

“Pupils love to learn at this inclusive and nurturing school.”
“They take pride in being friendly, kind and welcoming.”
“Pupils enjoy taking on special jobs such as ‘Stanley stars’ and ‘playground pals’.”

To improve

“In a very small number of subjects, the curriculum is at an earlier stage of development.”
“In these subjects, the sequence of learning is not detailed enough to ensure that teachers know exactly what to teach.”
“Sometimes, teachers design activities that do not enable pupils to learn the curriculum as well as they could.”
