Strengths
- “Pupils say that coming to school makes them feel safe.”
- “Leaders and staff recognise the many challenges that pupils face outside school and work closely with parents to keep pupils safe.”
- “Pupils quickly learn that staff are ‘on their team’ and trusting relationships between staff and pupils flourish.”
To improve
- “Pupils spoken to recognise bullying does happen occasionally.”
- “However, some aspects of the mathematics curriculum are less well thought through.”
- “Although the mathematics curriculum is based on a commercial scheme, work planned for stronger mathematicians is not as well planned and sequenced as that for pupils who receive a more nurturing curriculum.”
