Strengths
- “Children and pupils are proud of their school.”
- “There is a palpable sense of belonging, and pupils thrive as a result.”
- “They are confident that all staff will provide the help and support they need.”
To improve
- “However, many pupils have historic gaps in their learning that sometimes require consideration of a wider range of teaching approaches than is currently the case.”
- “However, teachers do not always check that pupils have understood the content of a lesson.”
- “This means pupils’ misconceptions sometimes continue for too long before they are recognised and addressed.”
