Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending this small community school, where a clear sense of belonging is evident.”
- “Pupils and staff know each other well.”
- “They nurture respectful, positive relationships.”
To improve
- “However, pupils’ learning is not consistently strong over time.”
- “Consequently, not all pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education.”
- “Occasionally, some pupils do not remember some important knowledge in a few subjects because staff have not fully checked pupils' understanding of it.”
