Strengths
- “Exceptional leadership at all levels has brought about considerable improvement for the opportunities and experiences of pupils in the school.”
- “Leaders in school, supported by trust leaders, have the highest expectations of pupils.”
- “Pupils speak and write in these languages to a high standard.”
To improve
- “Very occasionally where this assessment is not as precise as it needs to be, pupils receive work that is not as meaningful as it could be.”
- “However, the curriculum for some of the areas of learning is not as clear or precise as it is for literacy and numeracy.”
- “When children are selecting learning activities staff sometimes miss opportunities to embed children’s learning and enrich their vocabulary.”
