Strengths

- “There is a great sense of belonging at the school.”
- “As one pupil said ‘we always make people here feel like they belong’.”
To improve
- “However, they do not have consistent opportunities to apply their early number and phonics learning in the outdoor space.”
- “Interactions between staff and children are positive, but sometimes do not focus sharply enough on the intended learning.”
- “Children learn well across all areas of learning, but over half of them do not typically achieve an overall good level of development before they move to Year 1.”
