Strengths
- “Pupils thrive at this inclusive and caring school.”
- “Pupils are happy and enjoy learning.”
- “They make an excellent start in early years.”
To improve
- “On occasion, in some wider curriculum subjects, new knowledge is not always presented as clearly as it could be.”
- “This can make it difficult for pupils to grasp the essential knowledge intended for them to learn.”
- “As a result, some pupils may struggle to retain key information, which can lead to gaps in their knowledge and limit their ability to build on their learning over time.”
