Strengths
- “Pupils are looked after well in this school and describe it as a ‘second home’ to them.”
- “They flourish under the care of adults who know them very well.”
- “Pupils look forward to the learning experiences each day brings.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, teaching does not check and make sure that pupils have secured important knowledge before introducing new ideas.”
- “Where this happens, some pupils struggle to deepen their understanding and make links in their learning.”
- “Sometimes, however, the curriculum is not enabling pupils’ understanding of subject vocabulary to become as secure as it could be.”
