Strengths
- “Leaders’ vision for pupils to be enthusiastic, independent and inquisitive explorers who fulfil their potential is vibrant, alive and visible across the school.”
- “Whether talking to leaders, staff or pupils, the same strong sense of working ‘as one’ shines through.”
- “Many parents and carers agree.”
To improve
- “Occasionally, teachers do not use information from their checks on learning to give pupils enough opportunities to apply what they know.”
- “This hinders the depth of knowledge that some pupils gain.”
- “Older pupils read a range of texts, but not all pupils use the best strategy to read an unknown word.”
