Strengths
- “Pupils are highly enthusiastic about their school.”
- “They love the kind, nurturing environment.”
- “Pupils appreciate the ‘helping hand’, which ensures they know exactly what to do if they need help in any way.”
To improve
- “However, a few subjects are at an earlier stage of development.”
- “Sometimes, the knowledge pupils must learn and the order in which they need to learn it is not identified clearly enough.”
- “Also, occasionally, the information pupils need to learn in topics is too broad.”
