Strengths
- “Pupils flourish at this warm and welcoming school.”
- “The school’s values of adventure, acceptance and teamwork are demonstrated in the positive relationships between pupils and staff.”
- “As soon as children start in Nursery, they learn how to take care of themselves and work well with others.”
To improve
- “However, there are instances when curriculum expectations in the classroom do not match up with the school’s expectations.”
- “Sometimes, teaching does not factor in fully what pupils already know and can do.”
- “Checks on pupils’ learning of the curriculum are not used as well as they could be to ensure that teaching builds pupils’ knowledge.”
