Strengths
- “Pupils are rightly proud of their school and describe it as kind and welcoming.”
- “They typically behave well, and bullying is rare.”
- “Pupils are safe here because adults take good care of them.”
To improve
- “Assessment is not used consistently to check what pupils know, and this limits the depth of some pupils’ learning.”
- “While assessment is used to check what pupils have understood, there are some inconsistencies in how effectively this is done.”
- “As a result, errors and misconceptions persist in some pupils’ knowledge.”
