Strengths
- “This is a caring school where pupils are taught to include everyone.”
- “For example, buddies make sure that everyone has someone to play with at break time.”
- “Leaders regularly ask pupils about what could make school a better place for everyone.”
To improve
- “Leaders recognised that previously, some areas of the curriculum were not ambitious enough.”
- “These changes have not been reflected in pupil outcomes for 2022, but pupils are catching up quickly.”
- “Where the curriculum is more recently introduced, teachers sometimes give pupils work which does not focus carefully on the essential knowledge and content set out in the curriculum.”
