Strengths
- “Pupils are welcoming, friendly and polite.”
- “Staff create a strong culture of inclusivity.”
- “Religious education lessons and collective worship contribute to pupils’ understanding of tolerance and respect for others.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, teachers are not clear about the exact knowledge that pupils need to know and remember.”
- “Where this is the case, lessons are overly complex and teachers expect pupils to complete tasks that are too difficult for them.”
- “This results in a few pupils losing focus and struggling to manage their behaviour.”
