Strengths
- “Pupils are proud members of the school community.”
- “Pupils celebrate each other’s differences.”
- “They have great respect for each other, which is rooted in the school values.”
To improve
- “Although the early years programme is well planned in itself, little consideration has been given as to how it fits in with the whole school curriculum.”
- “With the exception of mathematics, the early years planning is separate to that of the whole school.”
- “However, it is not clear how other subjects develop as pupils move from early years to Year 1.”
