Strengths
- “Pupils are happy, feel safe and receive high-quality care at this school.”
- “Positive relationships are at the heart of the school’s work.”
- “This helps to ensure that pupils feel a strong sense of belonging to their school community.”
To improve
- “Last year, there was a dip in the Year 4 multiplication check outcomes, which leaders have addressed with curriculum adaptations and some helpful additional support for pupils who need it.”
- “However, there is some variability in how well teaching uses these checks to find and address misconceptions, and in turn deepen pupils' knowledge.”
- “However, sometimes, teachers provide limited opportunities for pupils to develop their vocabulary and practise using new words in context.”
