Strengths
- “The school is a friendly and caring place where pupils feel supported by staff.”
- “They know who to turn to if they have worries.”
- “They listen in class, do as they are asked and walk sensibly around the school site.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes pupils are given complex writing tasks before they have the knowledge and skills that they need to attempt them successfully.”
- “However, across subjects, checking is not as systematic as it could be.”
- “As a result, pupils sometimes forget key knowledge or do not have their misconceptions identified quickly.”
