Strengths
- “Pupils from varying backgrounds come together as one big family at Longthorpe.”
- “They celebrate diversity and understand each other’s differences.”
- “They learn about why people might have different opinions and how to debate and discuss these, while still remaining friends.”
To improve
- “However, the quality of writing they produce could be better as it is not of a consistently high standard across subjects.”
- “However, the outdoor environment does not enable enough opportunities for physical development.”
- “This means that children have fewer opportunities to build the early foundations of balance and movement.”
