School remains Good Inspected 14 June 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils are nurtured and well cared for.”
- “They are happy in school and trust staff to support them when any problems arise.”
- “Pupils value spending time in the ‘blossom room’, where staff help them to manage their emotions well.”
To improve
- “However, the school’s most recent published data does not reflect this.”
- “In 2023, a significant proportion of pupils left Year 6 having made below average progress in reading and mathematics.”
- “However, in one or two subjects, teachers do not support pupils to remember key knowledge over time as well as they could.”
