Strengths
- “Pupils come to school each day happy.”
- “They are secure in the knowledge that staff will keep them safe.”
- “In turn, staff greet the pupils warmly, asking how they are and checking that they are ready for the day ahead.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, the curriculum does not identify enough opportunities for pupils to deepen their knowledge and skills.”
- “This means that some pupils do not develop the rich body of knowledge that they could.”
- “In contrast, the provision to develop pupils’ writing knowledge is not as strong.”
