Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and confident.”
- “These high expectations are often met.”
- “Pupils strive to do their best.”
To improve
- “The school recognises that published outcomes in national tests and assessments do not yet fully reflect its ambitions for pupils.”
- “The new curriculum is generally delivered well, but there are occasions when staff lack appropriate subject knowledge.”
- “This means that teaching is sometimes not adapted well enough to help some pupils make the progress in their learning that they could.”
