Strengths
- “This is a happy, friendly and inclusive school.”
- “The school provides a broad and ambitious curriculum.”
- “As a result, there is a purposeful buzz of learning throughout the school.”
To improve
- “However, in a minority of subjects, assessment does not routinely identify when pupils have gaps in their learning.”
- “In these subjects, pupils do not have a secure understanding of what they have learned previously.”
- “This hinders how well they can learn new concepts.”
