Strengths
- “St George’s is a school where pupils ‘work together, play together and learn together’ happily.”
- “Staff ensure that each pupil is at the heart of everything they do.”
- “There are warm and nurturing relationships between staff and pupils.”
To improve
- “However, the school acknowledges that more work is needed to ensure that pupils can remember what they have learned term by term, and year by year.”
- “Some pupils cannot recall their learning over time, which makes it difficult for them to build their knowledge further.”
- “This helps pupils with SEND learn the same curriculum as their peers, although some do still struggle to remember essential learning over time.”
