Strengths
- “Staff establish strong and caring relationships with their pupils, who are happy, secure and feel respected as a result.”
- “They get to know pupils very well and make sure that they feel well supported and comfortable.”
- “The school’s family atmosphere makes a significant contribution to pupils’ growing selfesteem and to their sense of belonging.”
To improve
- “Sometimes, pupils find school hard.”
- “The school’s effective approach to teaching reading ensures that pupils make strong progress in this subject, although leaders rightly recognise the need to develop a more consistent and cohesive reading programme so that pupils at an early stage of reading do even better.”
- “However, their roles in challenging school leaders and holding them to account for the quality of education are at an early stage of development.”
