Strengths
- “Pupils are proud of their school and enjoy their learning.”
- “Leaders have created a safe environment in which pupils can achieve their best.”
- “Children in early years have settled in quickly and they are ready to learn.”
To improve
- “However, checks on whether pupils have securely learned what has been taught are not routine in all subjects.”
