Strengths
- “Pupils come to school each day with a smile on their face.”
- “They greet everyone with enthusiasm.”
- “They are safe and well looked after at this school.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes in Years 1 to 6, teaching does not enable pupils to remember the knowledge taught in previous years as securely.”
- “This sometimes limits pupils from building new knowledge on what they have learned previously and hinders learning.”
