Strengths
- “Pupils at this school work hard, achieve well and behave responsibly.”
- “They benefit from a carefully thought-out and ambitious curriculum.”
- “This starts in the early years, where children are very well prepared for Year 1 and beyond, including in the very effective teaching of early reading.”
To improve
- “Sometimes, this carefully considered curriculum is not implemented as leaders intend.”
- “On occasion, pupils miss out on subject content because the choice of topic or the teaching activity selected is not the most appropriate.”
- “This can lead to some gaps in pupils’ knowledge.”
