Strengths
- “Pupils flourish at this happy school.”
- “The school has created an atmosphere where pupils ‘learn, grow and achieve’ together.”
- “Pupils enjoy coming to school because they have kind friends to play with.”
To improve
- “However, on occasions in early years, some teaching does not model important vocabulary or sentence structures that the school wants children to hear and practise.”
- “When this is the case, some children miss out on meaningful opportunities to hear and use key vocabulary.”
- “However, sometimes teaching does not check what pupils know sufficiently well.”
