Good Inspected 3 July 2023
Strengths
- “Lilliput is a friendly, safe and nurturing school.”
- “The vision of ‘loving one another, respecting one another, serving one another’ threads its way through all aspects of school life.”
- “Pupils say that this guides them to make the right choices.”
To improve
- “However, in a few wider curriculum subjects, teachers do not explicitly link what pupils already know with new learning.”
- “As a result, even though published outcomes in 2022 were above the national average, pupils do not deepen their knowledge sufficiently in all wider curriculum subjects.”
- “However, some parents would like better communication from school leaders.”
