Strengths
- “Pupils thrive in this nurturing school.”
- “Children in the early years, along with pupils who are new to school, are given a warm welcome.”
- “They settle into school life quickly.”
To improve
- “Nevertheless, in a couple of areas, the school does not identify pupils’ misconceptions as quickly as they could be.”
- “This means that from time-to-time, gaps in learning go unaddressed.”
- “In 2023, the proportion of pupils who met the expected standards in reading, writing and mathematics at the end of Year 6 was below the national average.”
