Strengths
- “This is a small and inclusive school, with a strong determination for all pupils to do well.”
- “Following a period of instability, the school has settled since joining a local partnership of schools.”
- “The strengthened leadership has developed an ambitious curriculum and is driving improvements.”
To improve
- “Therefore, the impact on pupils’ published outcomes is not fully evident yet.”
- “Occasionally, there is little time for pupils to gain more in-depth knowledge.”
- “This makes it harder for pupils to explain important mathematical vocabulary or hone their drawing skills, for example.”
