Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to be part of this school.”
- “They demonstrate the school’s values of ‘stewardship, respect, curiosity, forgiveness and love’ in their work and actions.”
- “Pupils know that by following the school’s values, they help to make the school a safe and happy place.”
To improve
- “In these subjects, teachers have not developed tasks to check how well pupils have secured their knowledge over time.”
- “Consequently, pupils do not learn as well, and teachers are not clear where pupils’ gaps in knowledge are.”
- “However, the school does not identify clearly enough the specific support pupils with SEND need to achieve their individual targets.”
