School remains Good Inspected 30 June 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils are very happy at this nurturing school, where everyone is valued and included.”
- “They understand that staff know them extremely well, take good care of them and keep them safe.”
- “Leaders’ expectations of how pupils behave are very high.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes, teaching moves on too quickly before all pupils have embedded new knowledge.”
- “As a result, at times, a number of pupils spend too much time on tasks they cannot complete successfully.”
- “However, despite the school’s considerable work with families, a significant minority of pupils are too often absent and so miss important learning and opportunities for wider development.”
