Strengths

- “This joy of learning begins in the early years.”

To improve
- “However, on occasion, differences in how well teachers deliver the curriculum mean that some pupils do not make the progress they should.”
- “At times, pupils' learning in some classes and in a few subjects is uneven and not as secure as it should be.”
- “There are occasions when some staff provide too much help for pupils.”
