Strengths
- “The school is a warm and friendly place.”
- “Pupils feel safe and love coming to school.”
- “They rise to the high expectations that the school has for them.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes pupils’ misconceptions are not identified precisely and so are not addressed quickly enough, including for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
- “When this happens, gaps in pupils’ knowledge persist and so they struggle to embed new or more complex concepts securely.”
- “However, some do not have a deep enough understanding of different faiths and cultures.”
