Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to school each day.”
- “They feel comfortable and confident in the supportive and caring school environment.”
- “Staff put pupils’ interests at the heart of everything they do.”
To improve
- “At times, teachers do not provide work for pupils which is focused clearly enough on the most complex aspects of the school’s curriculum, such as problem solving in mathematics.”
- “This means that pupils do not consistently deepen their understanding across the subjects they study.”
- “Sometimes, teachers do not check pupils’ understanding well enough to ensure that they move pupils learning on at the most appropriate point.”
