Strengths

• “Pupils enjoy being part of this welcoming school.”
• “They appreciate and benefit from the many improvements the school has made.”
• “For example, pupils value the introduction of the ‘Dundale Way’, which outlines the school’s expectations of pupils’ behaviour.”

To improve

• “Occasionally in lessons, staff do not exactly match learning activities to some pupils’ needs, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
• “When this happens, pupils sometimes get stuck because activities are too difficult.”
• “Similarly, some pupils finish work quickly and do not get opportunities to deepen what they know.”
