Strengths

- “They said that the school is a great place to be and they love spending time with their friends.”
- “Pupils understand and follow the school’s values of compassion and teamwork well.”
To improve
- “In one or two subjects, however, the curriculum does not fully identify the essential knowledge that pupils need to know.”
- “From time to time, this prevents some pupils from acquiring the depth of knowledge of which they are capable.”
- “Furthermore, some teachers do not ensure that pupils apply their knowledge of spellings and grammar consistently well across subjects.”
