Strengths
- “This is a cheerful and welcoming school.”
- “Pupils are polite, considerate and respectful to each other and the adults.”
- “From the earliest opportunity, staff encourage children to speak out if they feel something is making them feel uncomfortable or unhappy.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, leaders are still in the process of refining the curriculum, deciding what subject content pupils need to know and the order in which subject content should be taught.”
- “However, where the new programme is used alongside existing strategies, pupils who need extra support with reading are not helped to build their fluency as effectively.”
