Strengths
- “Pupils are very positive about their academic and personal development experiences at this school.”
- “They rise to the high expectations that the school has for them and achieve well in national assessments for reading, writing and mathematics.”
- “From early years upwards, pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) have the adjustments they need to successfully access the learning environment.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes the work set in the wider curriculum subjects is not as effective as it could be in supporting pupils to secure and connect the detailed knowledge intended.”
- “Pupils are sometimes provided with too much detail at once or not enough.”
- “Some move on to new content without having secured the prerequisite knowledge they need.”
