Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to attend this school.”
- “They are highly motivated to learn, which is reflected in pupils' consistently high rates of attendance.”
- “Pupils develop caring and respectful relationships with their peers and with staff.”
To improve
- “However, in some other subjects beyond English and mathematics, pupils’ knowledge does not develop as deeply.”
- “For example, leaders identified that a sharper focus was needed on improving some pupils’ fluency and skill in handwriting.”
- “Leaders have also rightly identified that teaching in some subjects beyond English and mathematics is not of the same consistently high quality.”
