Good Inspected 15 November 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils are eager to come to school each morning because their teachers do their best to help them learn and because they have kind friends to play with.”
- “Pupils learn in a calm environment.”
- “This is because the school has high expectations for pupils which start in the nursery.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes in the early years adults do not model and extend children’s language effectively.”
- “This means that some pupils miss out on opportunities to hear and practise new words while they are learning.”
- “Generally, pupils attend well, but the school is continuing work to improve attendance even further.”
