Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and enjoy coming to school each day.”
- “The school is a haven of calm.”
- “Pupils learn free from distraction.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects where the curriculum content has recently been revised, teachers and leaders sometimes lack the confidence and skills to deliver new learning consistently well.”
- “This means that staff sometimes do not support pupils to make secure enough connections between new topics and concepts.”
- “This prevents a few pupils from deepening their learning, and from knowing and remembering more knowledge over time.”
