Strengths
- “Everyone is welcome at this friendly, inclusive school.”
- “The school’s culture is based around its values of ‘respect, empower and aspire’.”
- “The recently introduced character development programme promotes these values.”
To improve
- “However, at times, teachers do not check that pupils have understood their learning and do not intervene quickly to correct pupils’ mistakes.”
- “This means pupils do not build their knowledge as securely as they could.”
- “However, previous pupils have not benefited from these changes.”
