Strengths
- “It is inclusive and welcoming.”
- “Pupils see their school as a safe place to learn.”
- “They feel comfortable and relaxed.”
To improve
- “Across the wider curriculum, most pupils demonstrate increasing ability to recall what they have been taught, although this is not yet consistent across subjects.”
- “Pupils are starting to link their current lessons to what they have learned before, but this is not consistent for all groups.”
- “However, assessment information gathered at the end of units could be used more effectively to help some pupils build on what they have learned over time.”
