Strengths

- “They speak positively about their experiences and value the warm relationships they share with staff and each other.”
- “Pupils behave well throughout the school and show respect for others.”
To improve
- “For the small number of pupils whose attendance needs to improve, leaders use a step-by-step approach that includes the appropriate balance of support and challenge.”
- “In a few cases, these adaptations are not applied consistently, which limits some pupils' deeper understanding.”
- “However, not all opportunities to develop children's transcription skills, including early letter formation, are maximised.”
