Strengths
- “The school is typically described by parents and carers as ‘a small school with a big heart’.”
- “It prides itself on being a warm, welcoming and aspirational place for pupils to learn.”
- “There is a calm and nurturing ethos.”
To improve
- “However, in some wider curriculum subjects, teachers do not consistently use the checks they make on pupils’ learning to plan pupils’ next steps effectively.”
- “At times, this leads to pupils completing tasks that are too easy or does not support them well in applying their knowledge to more complex tasks.”
