Strengths
- “Pupils are happy to attend this school.”
- “They describe school as fun and full of kindness.”
- “They feel safe and are taught to keep themselves safe.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects the precise knowledge that pupils need to learn is less well defined.”
- “This means that sometimes pupils’ learning is less well sequenced, leading to misconceptions and gaps in their knowledge.”
- “However, the school recognises that teaching about the fundamental British values of democracy, individual liberty and the rule of law are not yet as fully developed as other personal development areas.”
