The inspectors observed pupils’ behaviour around school and reviewed the school’s promotion of pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. The inspectors observed pupils in the playground and during lunchtime. The lead inspector spoke to members of the governing body and the school improvement partner from the local authority.
