Strengths
- “Pupils experience a calm, orderly and welcoming school.”
- “They follow routines without fuss and speak respectfully with staff and one another.”
- “When pupils raise worries, staff respond quickly and keep them informed.”
To improve
- “In a handful of lessons, teachers' checks on pupils' understanding are not as secure, so a few pupils do not produce the same depth of response.”
- “The remaining priority is to establish greater consistency in the quality of classroom practice, especially routines for checking pupils' understanding and precise adaptations for pupils with SEND.”
- “Outcomes for high prior attainers dipped in 2025.”
