Strengths
- “Pupils are happy at this inclusive and nurturing school.”
- “They enjoy strong, positive relationships with caring staff.”
- “Pupils know that there are trusted adults who they can speak with about any worries they may have.”
To improve
- “In a few remaining subjects, the school is still determining the precise knowledge that pupils should acquire and the order in which this should be taught.”
- “This means that, on occasion, staff do not place the right emphasis on the knowledge that pupils need for future learning.”
- “This sometimes prevents some pupils from learning as deeply as they could and making connections with what they have learned before.”
