Strengths
- “This school is rightly proud of the caring and nurturing environment it provides for its pupils.”
- “Pupils talk with enthusiasm about the ‘embrace’ curriculum that includes a wide range of experiences that promote pupils’ personal development, including Forest School and ‘smart seven’ skills.”
- “Leaders are ambitious in what they believe all pupils can achieve.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes, teachers do not regularly check what all pupils know.”
- “This means that gaps in knowledge and misconceptions are not always addressed quickly enough.”
- “Leaders are in the process of broadening their identification of a wider range of learning needs.”
