Strengths
- “‘Every child, every chance, every day’, pupils are helped to ‘give thanks, remember manners, only do their best and to wear a smile.”
- “Pupils understand these aims and do their very best to live up to them.”
- “Pupils are proud of the wide range of cultures, religions and backgrounds that make up their school.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of cases, teachers do not check closely enough on pupils’ learning.”
- “They do not always pick up on errors that pupils make.”
- “As a result, in these cases, pupils do not learn the curriculum as well as they could.”
