Strengths
- “Pupils and children enjoy their time at school.”
- “The cheerful greetings that pupils receive each morning from caring staff, and the pupils who act as attendance ambassadors, make them feel at ease and ready to learn from the off.”
- “Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), get on well together.”
To improve
- “That said, in one or two subjects, some specific aspects of the curriculum are not taught consistently well.”
- “Consequently, in these subjects, pupils lack the full range of knowledge and skills that they need to deepen their understanding over time.”
- “However, a small number of pupils do not have sufficient opportunities to practise their reading.”
