Strengths
- “Pupils are happy, safe and proud to belong to this welcoming school community.”
- “This begins in the early years, where children arrive each morning to a warm welcome from staff.”
- “Older pupils help serve breakfast to others in a responsible and kind way.”
To improve
- “Across key stage 1 and key stage 2, approaches to identify and address misconceptions are not always applied consistently.”
- “This means a small number of pupils do not secure some key concepts as well as others.”
- “Attendance is below national expectations, and persistent absence has been above national expectations over time.”
