Strengths
- “Pupils certainly are happy and feel safe.”
- “They say that adults listen to them and support them with any worries they may have.”
- “The school has high expectations of every pupil, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, pupils struggle to recall what they have learned in the past.”
- “This is because in these subjects, staff do not check pupils’ prior knowledge before moving on to new learning.”
- “Sometimes, the children do not get the most from the activities they complete on their own.”
