Strengths
- “Children settle quickly into this happy, inclusive school from the very beginning of their time in Nursery and Reception classes.”
- “They become active members of the school community and soon embody the school motto: ‘Work hard.”
- “Passion for the curriculum shines through and there is a drive to have a highly bespoke curriculum, which has the rich industrial history of the local area at its heart.”
To improve
- “There are times, however, when key learning is not clearly identified, which leads to confusion.”
- “This also hampers teachers in establishing whether pupils are retaining the knowledge which pupils most need.”
- “The outdoor area is well used but the environment does not match the quality of indoor spaces.”
