Strengths
- “This is a highly inclusive school, where pupils are valued for their individual qualities.”
- “The school is ambitious for pupils to do their best academically.”
- “From the early years onwards, children work hard and rise to meet these high expectations.”
To improve
- “However, staff do not check pupils’ understanding of previously taught essential knowledge carefully enough, in some subjects.”
- “This means staff do not always identify where pupils have gaps to help them inform future teaching.”
- “Consequently, some pupils do not achieve as well as they could.”
