Strengths

- “Staff have created calm and caring environment.”
- “Pupils and staff have forged positive, productive relationships.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, leaders’ use of assessment is not as helpful as it could be.”
- “It helps teachers to adapt the curriculum to meet the needs of pupils, but does not allow leaders to determine how much pupils remember in the longer term.”
- “Occasionally, pupils’ phonics errors and misconceptions are not picked up when pupils are reading to an adult.”
