Strengths
- “Pupils are happy at this caring and inclusive school.”
- “Parents comment positively about the ‘family feel’ of the school and how it is part of the local community.”
- “Pupils’ behaviour reflects one of the school’s key teachings of ‘treat each other as you want to be treated’.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes they do not choose the best activities to do this within the lesson, which means some gaps in pupils’ knowledge are not identified or addressed in a timely manner.”
