Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy learning at St Barnabas CofE First and Middle School.”
- “They feel happy and safe and know that there is always someone to talk to.”
- “Staff know the pupils well and provide high-quality pastoral care.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, at the very early stages of learning, the small steps that pupils need to take in their learning are sometimes not defined precisely enough.”
- “This limits learning on some occasions.”
- “However, in those subjects where leaders have recently made changes, the school is still establishing the end points that the learning is building towards.”
