Strengths
- “Pupils are happy at this welcoming school.”
- “The school’s vision, ‘Grow to be the best that we can be’, is embedded throughout the school.”
- “Pupils, including those that are disadvantaged, achieve well from their different starting points.”
To improve
- “However, on occasion, staff do not identify or resolve promptly the gaps and misconceptions that pupils have in their learning.”
- “This means that some pupils are not able to remember what they have learned, so they move on to new curriculum content before they are ready.”
- “However, there are limited opportunities for pupils to develop their interests and talents.”
