Strengths
- “This is a friendly and highly inclusive school where everyone is valued and diversity is celebrated.”
- “Staff and pupils appreciate the dedicated pastoral care the school provides.”
- “There is a calm and nurturing atmosphere in lessons, where pupils behave well and can focus on their learning without disruption.”
To improve
- “However, in places, staff’s use of these checks does not identify gaps in pupils’ knowledge as well as it should.”
- “As a result, pupils’ misconceptions or lack of understanding are sometimes not considered enough when making decisions about what they should learn next.”
- “Sometimes, the strategies to help pupils write with accuracy and fluency are not used consistently.”
