Strengths

- “Pupils provide a warm welcome to visitors to the school and readily interact, showing a polite curiosity.”
- “They feel safe in school and are confident that staff will resolve any issues that arise.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, the curriculum does not identify the key knowledge that pupils need to learn precisely enough.”
- “This means that in these subjects, pupils do not develop detailed knowledge and skills.”
- “The school recognises that the curriculum needs further embedding.”
