  • “Pupils attend regularly and look forward to their school day.”
  • “The school is ambitious for all pupils.”

To improve

  • “The curriculum in a few subjects is not consistently implemented well.”

  • “The school needs to ensure that the curriculum in these subjects is sequenced and taught so that pupils build up and recall knowledge securely in the long term.”
