Strengths
- “Pupils at this school are encouraged to be lifelong learners and fulfil their potential.”
- “They enjoy coming to school and benefit from warm relationships with staff.”
- “This helps them feel cared for.”
To improve
- “Although this is so, there are occasions when children’s engagement and focus in the early years do not live up to these high expectations.”
- “In some wider curriculum subjects, however, the essential knowledge pupils need to know has not been well defined.”
- “This means the curriculum is not as progressive and teachers’ checks on how well pupils have learned the curriculum are not as exact.”
