Strengths
- “Pupils feel a strong sense of belonging at this welcoming school.”
- “Staff encourage pupils to make a difference to the school community.”
- “For example, pupils vote for the playground equipment to purchase to enhance their social times.”
To improve
- “However, there are some occasions when teachers do not insist on pupils’ full participation when checking how well pupils have understood their learning.”
- “This is also the case in some early reading sessions.”
- “This hinders how well those pupils who have gaps in their learning are identified, so it is unclear who needs further support.”
