Strengths
- “The school mission statement of ‘inspiring our children, enriching their academic journey and achieving excellence’ is consistently demonstrated in the actions of staff.”
- “Parents and carers say that the school feels like a community.”
- “They typically comment that their children enjoy attending school and sharing what they have learned when they return home each day.”
To improve
- “On occasions, teachers do not provide pupils with tasks that are precisely matched to what pupils already know.”
- “However, some pupils are much less certain about their learning in a small number of other subjects.”
- “When this is the case, they are less able to recall learning from previous terms and academic years.”
