Strengths
- “Pupils develop a sense of belonging in this caring school where every child is known well.”
- “Each morning, pupils arrive on time and settle quickly into established routines.”
- “They begin work without delay.”
To improve
- “Leaders know that attendance for a minority of pupils remains too low.”
- “However, sometimes, teaching is not targeted precisely enough to support the small number of pupils who find handwriting and spelling more difficult.”
- “Leaders recognise that although disadvantaged pupils achieve well, their outcomes do not match those of non-disadvantaged pupils nationally.”
