Strengths
- “Pupils, including children in the early years, blossom at this school.”
- “They feel very happy and safe.”
- “Leaders, members of the local governing board (school committee), members of the trust (directors) and staff are united in their ambition to give all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), the best start in their education, academically and socially.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, teachers do not ensure that pupils have sufficient opportunities to recap and recall earlier learning.”
- “As a result, pupils’ learning is not fully secure.”
- “This makes it difficult when they meet new concepts.”
