Strengths
- “From the moment you enter the school, it is clear that this is a nurturing place to learn where pupils thrive and flourish.”
- “Pupils know that teachers care deeply about their wellbeing.”
- “They explain how teachers notice if they are feeling sad or have a worry and are quick to help them.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes the checking of what pupils know and remember is not effective enough.”
- “This means that, on occasions, staff do not pick up on mistakes and misconceptions as quickly as they might.”
