Strengths
- “Respect, care and kindness feature in all aspects of school life.”
- “Parents and pupils are greeted with a cheery ‘good morning’ as they arrive.”
- “Pupils know that adults in school care about them as individuals and listen if they have any worries.”
To improve
- “In some areas of the curriculum, the activities in class do not support the pupils to remember the important knowledge that has been identified.”
- “In these cases, the planned activities are not connected to the intended learning sharply enough.”
- “This means that, while pupils are engaged in activities, they do not always develop their knowledge or make links with what they have already learned.”
