Strengths

- “They understand and model the school’s values of ‘love, integrity, grit, hope and trust’ exceptionally well.”
- “They are immersed in what is an almost magical learning environment, surrounded by horses and picturesque grounds that are utilised well to help motivate and inspire.”
To improve

- “Sometimes staff do not identify what pupils know and then adapt the curriculum precisely.”
- “This means that some pupils do not build on their knowledge as well as they could.”
