Strengths
- “Positive relationships and mutual respect are at the heart of everything that this school does.”
- “Pupils appreciate that staff take the time to get to know them.”
- “Pupils develop a trusting rapport with staff which helps them to feel happy and safe.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, the school has not clearly identified the most important information that pupils should learn.”
- “This makes it difficult for staff to emphasise this knowledge when designing learning activities and checking what pupils know.”
- “This hinders how securely pupils build their knowledge of these subjects.”
