Strengths

- “Warm relationships between staff and pupils reflect the school’s values of respect, high expectations and resilience.”

To improve
- “However, these revisions did not have sufficient time to impact the outcomes of the previous cohort.”
- “Although the key concepts of learning have been identified, pupils do not always get the opportunity to revisit them.”
- “Additionally, at times, the activities pupils undertake do not meet the intended learning outcome closely enough and assessments do not precisely identify that pupils are not learning the identified key concepts.”
