Strengths
- “This school knows every pupil very well.”
- “Pupils show through their words, symbols or behaviour that they enjoy attending.”
- “Staff strive to give all pupils a voice, including those who do not communicate verbally.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes, activities are a little too easy or hard to support pupils’ learning fully.”
- “Through the recent turbulent period, some parents lost confidence in the school.”
- “At present, routine home-school communication is variable in both frequency and content, leaving some parents wanting more information about their children’s education.”
