Strengths
- “This is a school that is deeply invested in its vision of helping pupils to become ‘learners for life’.”
- “Pupils, including the youngest children in Reception Year, experience a broad curriculum, including well-planned trips and visits, such as the regular geography fieldwork.”
- “Pupils rise to the school’s high expectations about what they can achieve.”
To improve
- “However, some staff focus on the completion of activities rather than helping pupils to understand the concepts taught.”
- “As a result, sometimes pupils do not develop the knowledge and understanding in some areas of the curriculum.”
- “However, aspects of the school’s monitoring are less precisely developed.”
