Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to attend this welcoming school.”
- “Pupils are polite and respectful to visitors.”
- “They are kind to one another and their positive behaviour reflects the school’s values of respect and love.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, there is less rigour in how staff check what pupils know and understand.”
- “This means that sometimes pupils have gaps in their knowledge that prevent them from moving onto more complex work.”
- “As a result, some pupils do not learn as well as they could.”
