Good Inspected 28 September 2022
Strengths
- “These help them learn about positive mindsets.”
- “The bee helps with teamwork, and the tortoise with resilience.”
- “Pupils feel happy and safe as they all learn about ‘start telling other people’ (STOP).”
To improve
- “In small pockets of the curriculum, pupils do not retain learning as well.”
- “This is because the same level of planning and training for how pupils connect and secure knowledge has not taken place.”
- “Leaders identified that during the COVID-19 pandemic, some pupils fell behind with their reading and developed gaps in their reading knowledge.”
