Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to attend this caring and inclusive school.”
- “They feel safe and valued here.”
- “This is because staff know pupils well.”
To improve
- “However, they do not always use checks on pupils’ learning precisely enough to inform future teaching.”
- “As a result, some pupils complete work that is not well matched to what they already know or need next.”
- “This means that some pupils do not build on prior learning as securely or effectively as they could.”
