Strengths
- “Pupils are proud members of their school and local community.”
- “They run happily through the school gates in the morning and are warmly greeted by kind and caring staff.”
- “Pupils have positive attitudes to learning and school life.”
To improve
- “Nevertheless, in a few subjects, other than English and mathematics, teachers do not revisit the previous content of the curriculum frequently.”
- “This makes it harder for pupils to recall past learning and connect ideas and knowledge to deepen their understanding.”
- “Consequently, they do not learn as well as they could in these subjects.”
