- “A strong sense of belonging is evident in how confidently they talk about their school, describing it as a place where they feel happy, cared for and listened to.”
- “Warm, trusting relationships with staff are a significant strength.”
To improve
- “However, there is some variation in how the wider curriculum is delivered.”
- “In subjects such as history, geography and science, teachers do not always adapt learning well enough to meet pupils' different needs.”
