Strengths
- “Pupils across the school are benefiting from the recent changes to the curriculum and are rising to the high academic expectations staff have for them.”
- “Children in the early years thrive due to the precise way in which learning activities meet their specific needs.”
- “Pupils consistently follow clear routines.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, staff are less familiar with how to adapt their teaching and have not yet agreed on what high-quality work in these subjects should look like.”
- “As a result, some pupils do not yet achieve as well as they could in these subjects.”
