Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to this welcoming and friendly school.”
- “Staff know pupils and their families extremely well.”
- “The school has also developed strong links with the local community.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes, pupils’ longer-term recall and understanding of subject content are not as secure.”
- “This is because some teaching does not revisit previous learning to ensure that pupils have mastered ideas fully.”
- “As a result, pupils are not supported as well as they could be to make links or connect ideas with what they already know.”
