Strengths
- “Pupils respond well to the unwavering high ambitions that leaders promote.”
- “They enjoy being taught new things.”
- “Staff encourage children in the early years to take risks with their learning and play.”
To improve

- “This means that the consistent implementation of these new initiatives is not secure.”
- “Despite this, some pupils continue to be persistently absent, particularly pupils with SEND.”
