Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending this welcoming school.”
- “They value the time that staff take to get to know them as individuals.”
- “This helps pupils to build up trusting relationships that make them feel safe and happy in school.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, some learning activities do not support pupils to successfully build on what they already know.”
- “As a result, some pupils do not deepen their knowledge as well as they could in these subjects.”
- “That said, there are a small number of subjects where this curriculum information is not clear.”
