What the school should improve
- Many areas of the curriculum, including writing, have been further strengthened. The positive impact of writing is still to be fully reflected in some aspects of pupils' work. The school should continue to ensure that the writing curriculum is fully embedded across the whole school.
- The school does not provide a wide range of opportunities for pupils to engage with different faiths and beliefs. As a result, pupils' knowledge of different faiths and beliefs is not as developed as it could be. The school should increase the number of opportunities for pupils to engage with different faiths and beliefs, which will ensure that pupils' knowledge and understanding of a wide range of faiths and beliefs are more fully developed.
