Strengths
- “Pupils display the school’s vision of ‘to be kind to ourselves, to each other and our world’.”
- “They make new arrivals and visitors feel part of the school community.”
- “This is because they care about each other and celebrate differences.”
To improve
- “However, some pupils have gaps in their knowledge and skills.”
- “Since the predecessor school was inspected, there was a period when standards of behaviour and the quality of education slipped.”
- “While the improvements are clear in the quality of education current pupils receive, they are not yet fully reflected in pupils’ outcomes in national tests and assessments.”
