Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to attend this friendly and inclusive school.”
- “They arrive ready to learn and are greeted warmly by staff who know them well.”
- “This helps pupils to feel safe, valued and part of a close-knit community.”
To improve
- “However, pupils' previous attainment does not reflect how well current pupils at the school achieve.”
- “However, in some subjects, teachers do not consistently plan learning that is closely matched to intended curriculum outcomes.”
- “As a result, some pupils lack opportunities to apply their knowledge and tackle complex tasks.”
