Strengths

- “There are clear systems in place, which are understood and displayed by all.”
- “The school is a happy, calm and welcoming place to be.”
To improve
- “However, due to recent changes in the school’s curriculum, the school is at an earlier stage of development in how teachers check that pupils are remembering more knowledge over time.”
- “In some subjects, teachers do not provide enough opportunities for pupils to recall their earlier learning.”
- “At times, this hinders the progress that some pupils make through the curriculum.”
