Strengths
- “Dunstan’s are happy and thoughtful.”
- “They support each other and help those in their local community.”
- “Staff take every opportunity to interact positively with pupils and get to know them well.”

- “However, there is inconsistency in the use of indoor and outdoor spaces, which means that children miss out on opportunities to reinforce their learning.”
