Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to attend this welcoming school.”
- “From this point on, children and pupils are polite, respectful and gentle towards others.”
- “Pupils benefit from the kind and caring relationships that they have with staff and each other.”
To improve
- “The school’s validated published data for 2023 shows that the proportion of pupils who met the expected standards in reading at the end of Year 6 was below the national average.”
- “As a result, they were unable to benefit fully from the school’s well-designed curriculum.”
- “However, children in the Reception classes have less opportunities to develop their language and deepen their learning, especially during their independent play.”
