Strengths
- “They are happy, safe and enjoy learning.”
- “Pupils said that they would go to an adult if they were worried, but that adults would notice first and check that they were okay.”
- “Leaders want ‘every school day to be an extraordinary day’ and plan additional experiences for all pupils to undertake.”
To improve
- “For example, in mathematics, leaders have identified that some pupils are not secure in their knowledge of times tables.”
- “However, in some subjects, leaders’ work to ensure that pupils grasp and remember knowledge is at an earlier stage of development.”
- “In these areas, pupils have not consistently secured the knowledge they need to tackle more difficult learning.”
