Strengths

- “They are full of enthusiasm for learning and behave exceptionally well.”
- “Pupils are immensely proud to belong to such a diverse school community where everyone is valued for their own unique qualities.”
To improve
- “However, in some wider curriculum subjects, pupils’ knowledge is not as secure.”
- “This is because some learning activities do not focus precisely on the intended learning or deepen pupils’ understanding.”
- “However, the quality of younger pupils’ writing is sometimes hampered by weak handwriting and sentence construction.”
