Strengths
- “Pupils thrive in a safe oasis of calm, away from their busy lives outside of school.”
- “They have the time to laugh, sing and make friends.”
- “Pupils say that this is a school where staff listen to them.”
To improve
- “However, on occasion, the school does not make certain that pupils can recall some essential knowledge that they have been taught previously.”
- “This means that, sometimes, pupils’ new knowledge does not build on a secure understanding.”
- “The published data for reading in Year 6 in 2024 was well below the national average.”
