Strengths
- “An inspirational leadership team, caring staff and an exciting new curriculum are driving improvements.”

- “Across this very caring school, leaders and staff seize every opportunity to enable every child to make the greatest progress they can, regardless of circumstances beyond the school gate.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, it is unclear how learning should build on what has been taught in the early years.”
- “This can make it difficult for teachers to plan lessons that build on what happened previously.”
- “However, in some cases, teachers do not routinely check on what pupils know and understand from that lesson.”
