Strengths
- “Pupils, and their parents and carers, are proud to belong to this calm and welcoming school community.”
- “Pupils are kind to each other.”
- “They are respectful and well behaved.”
To improve
- “Conversely, in one or two subjects, the guidance and support that leaders provide for teachers are still in development.”
- “This means that some teachers do not know exactly what they should be delivering to pupils.”
- “As a result, sometimes teachers find it more difficult to check how well pupils are learning new knowledge.”
