Strengths
- “This is a happy and nurturing school where pupils thrive.”
- “Relationships between adults and pupils are caring, and pupils feel safe.”
- “These values foster a sense of pride in pupils and help to ensure that all feel part of a community.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, the school has only recently introduced systems to check what pupils know and remember.”
- “This means that, in these subjects, staff are not sure where pupils, including those with SEND, have gaps in their knowledge.”
- “However, in some learning activities, the school has not thought carefully enough about how children will develop their language and vocabulary knowledge.”
