Strengths
- “This is a highly inclusive school.”
- “Staff and pupils model the school’s values of ‘compassion, respect and forgiveness’.”
- “This fosters a strong sense of community.”
To improve
- “In these subjects, arrangements to check the impact of the curriculum on pupils’ achievement have not started.”
- “As a result, some pupils have gaps in their subject knowledge that are unaddressed.”
- “However, in a few subjects, including in early years, explanations of exactly what pupils must learn are sometimes not clear and learning tasks do not link precisely to what pupils have learned previously.”
