Strengths
- “Pupils, especially those who join at different points in the school year, benefit from a nurturing and welcoming school.”
- “Staff know pupils and understand their needs.”
- “This ensures that disadvantaged pupils, and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, feel that they belong and are included in all aspects of school life.”
To improve
- “This has hindered leaders’ success in fully reducing the variability in the quality of the curriculum and how it is taught.”
- “As a result, some pupils have gaps in their knowledge and skills.”
- “This means they are not as well prepared for their next stage in education as they should be.”
