Strengths

“This is a welcoming school where pupils benefit from learning in a caring environment.”
“The school nurtures pupils’ well-being effectively.”
“Early on, families are invited to attend workshops and events with their children so that they can get to know the school and its staff.”

To improve

“However, in some subjects, these strategies are sometimes not used well enough.”
“On these occasions, pupils struggle to recall what they have been taught or to use suitable vocabulary to explain their understanding.”
“However, the school does not help some pupils well enough to understand diversity and life in modern Britain, including the significance of fundamental British values.”
