Strengths
- “Children are happy at this welcoming and nurturing school.”
- “The school’s motto ‘kind hearts’ underpins the caring relationships between everyone at the school.”
- “Children are loved and cherished.”
To improve
- “However, in a few areas of learning, the school has not identified clearly some of the important knowledge that children should learn.”
- “This makes it difficult for staff to know what essential information that they should prioritise when designing learning activities.”
- “This means that, on occasion, children do not gain the building blocks of knowledge that are crucial to their later learning.”
