Strengths
- “Pupils rekindle their passion and interest for learning at this school.”
- “Staff ensure they get to know pupils quickly.”
- “This helps pupils to build warm and respectful relationships with staff.”
To improve
- “The school recognises that some systems are in the early stages of development and require additional work.”
- “However, work given to pupils does not always allow them to apply and deepen their knowledge consistently well.”
- “As a result, pupils do not understand the content that they learn as deeply as they could.”
