Strengths
- “The school’s vision of ‘journeying together with love and trust’ shines through in every aspect of school life.”
- “Staff know and care for pupils very well.”
- “Pupils appreciate morning ‘check-ins’ where they learn to share their feelings effectively.”
To improve
- “However, at times, the school does not make the links to pupils' prior learning explicit enough.”
- “This means that the depth of what pupils know and remember over time varies between subjects.”
- “However, the school’s checks on pupils' understanding occasionally lack precision in some subjects.”
