Strengths
- “Pupils are happy at this school.”
- “The kind and nurturing relationships they develop with staff help them to feel safe.”
- “This helps pupils to enjoy school, work hard and attend well.”
To improve
- “However, some pupils, particularly in key stage 2, have gaps in their knowledge of the previous curriculum.”
- “These gaps are not consistently being addressed in some subjects because staff require further support and professional development in delivering the curriculum effectively.”
- “Sometimes, teaching does not address pupils’ misconceptions before they move on to harder tasks.”
