Strengths
- “Pupils are keen to show these values in their attitudes and in their relationships with each other.”
- “Pupils enjoy coming to school.”
- “They play happily in the playground, where older pupils look after their younger peers.”
To improve
- “In a very small number of subjects, teaching is not always precisely matched to the needs of the different age groups in a single class.”
- “The planned activities do not always promote pupils’ progress as effectively as they could.”
- “Older pupils in key stage 2 who are not confident readers do not always get the support they need.”
