Strengths

- “Pupils know that these values help them to be polite, caring and inclusive of all.”
- “Typical comments include, ‘All the children are caring and kind to each other.’”
To improve
- “In some subjects in the wider curriculum, there has not been sufficient time for leaders to monitor the curriculum.”
- “As a result, they do not have a clear understanding of how well pupils are progressing through the intended curriculum or identify the gaps in knowledge that some pupils have.”
- “For example, in art, younger pupils use a range of drawing techniques in their work, however the older pupils have not learned these techniques.”
