Strengths
- “This is a small school with a happy and caring ethos.”
- “Pupils praise the interesting lessons and activities provided for them.”
- “They say, ‘There is lots of fun and the right amount of time to learn.’”
To improve
- “However, in lessons, teachers do not always check pupils’ understanding as quickly as they should.”
- “This means that some pupils do not receive the support they need in lessons.”
- “In some subjects, for example in geography and religious education, pupils could not confidently remember and explain what they had learned.”
