Strengths
- “Pupils thrive on being part of this caring and welcoming school.”
- “Children in the early years, and pupils across the rest of the school, benefit from the positive relationships that they form with staff.”
- “This helps them to feel happy and safe.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, the school does not use information that it gathers to modify future teaching.”
- “Consequently, in these subjects, gaps in some pupils’ prior learning remain.”
