Strengths
- “Pupils are happy, safe and well supported.”
- “They benefit from the care of dedicated staff who are ambitious for every child.”
- “The school is determined that pupils will be well prepared for secondary school and beyond.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, the checks made on pupils’ learning do not identify the extent of pupils’ knowledge.”
- “Therefore, some pupils move through some curriculum subjects with ongoing gaps in their knowledge.”
- “In addition, the way the curriculum is taught does not always allow pupils who have secured their learning to move onto more complex knowledge swiftly enough.”
