Strengths
- “Pupils thrive in this inclusive school community.”
- “They embrace the school vision of ‘let your light shine’ and have high ambitions for themselves and each other.”
- “Staff have high expectations for pupils’ achievement and effort.”
To improve
- “However, at times, the work that pupils are given does not always enable them to build secure knowledge for use in later learning.”
- “When this happens, pupils are not able to explain what they know in the depth that leaders intend.”
- “However, there is a small minority of pupils who continue to struggle to focus in lessons.”
