School remains Good Inspected 13 March 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils’ well-being is central to this nurturing and happy school.”
- “They appreciate the support that they receive from staff.”
- “For example, they like how staff help them to understand new ideas and learn from their mistakes.”
To improve
- “Nevertheless, some pupils have not been at the school long enough to fully catch up in their learning.”
- “This is reflected in the 2023 statutory assessment outcomes, which were low overall.”
- “While the school’s work on early reading is effective overall, in a few instances, teaching activities are not maximising the time spent learning and practising phonics.”
