Strengths
- “Pupils, staff, parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about this school as it grows from strength to strength.”
- “As one parent wrote, ‘Children skip through the gates in the morning.”
- “Pupils show great enthusiasm for learning and the many experiences that school life offers.”
To improve
- “However, at this present time, this means that pupils are learning better in some subjects than they are in others.”
- “The school knows that at times, in some foundation subjects, the current curriculum is not as clear about what pupils need to learn as it could be.”
- “When this is the case, teachers do not systematically check how well pupils learn the curriculum over time.”
