Strengths
- “Pupils flourish in a school where they are known well.”
- “There are positive relationships that create a warm and inclusive community.”
- “Pupils from different backgrounds learn together with respect and kindness.”
To improve
- “However, pupils do not consistently apply their knowledge with the same depth and security across the wider curriculum as they do in reading, writing and mathematics.”
- “As a result, when learning is drawn together or used in different contexts, pupils' understanding is sometimes less secure.”
- “In some areas of the wider curriculum, teachers do not check pupils' understanding as precisely as they do in reading, writing and mathematics.”
