Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy working together in this collaborative school.”
- “Relationships between pupils are positive, and they take pride in the work they produce with their peers.”
- “This begins in the early years, where children take part in ambitious projects that develop creativity and essential skills.”
To improve
- “Some variability in teaching across the wider curriculum means that work in some subjects is not recorded to the same standard as in writing.”
- “Some pupils also have limited knowledge in certain foundation subjects.”
- “Leaders recognise that teaching in some wider subjects is less effective, as some staff continue to develop their understanding of how best to teach key content.”
