Strengths
- “This is a growing school where pupils are warm and welcoming, especially to new pupils who arrive from all over the world.”
- “Pupils celebrate the diversity that this brings to the school.”
- “This ensures pupils settle in quickly and feel a sense of belonging to the community.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, teachers do not match tasks to build on what pupils already know and understand.”
- “When this is the case, pupils do not develop and extend their knowledge as well as they could.”
