Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to this welcoming school that is at the heart of the community.”
- “This is evident in the way pupils behave well in class and work hard.”
- “Pupils live up to the school’s vision of ‘shine as bright as the sky’ through their achievements, the extensive range of responsibilities they take on and their willingness to be kind to one another.”
To improve
- “However, in some other subjects, teachers do not check carefully that pupils have learned what was intended.”
- “Staff then move pupils on to learn new curriculum content too quickly.”
- “This means that sometimes pupils develop gaps in their knowledge and struggle to remember key information.”
