Strengths
- “A warm and nurturing ethos permeates this school, which is truly inclusive and welcoming for all.”
- “Right from the start of the school day, pupils are happy and settle quickly to learning.”
- “They are proud to be a part of their school and most attend regularly.”
To improve
- “However, considerable mobility in and out of the school and small cohorts mean that the success of this work is not fully reflected in published attendance figures.”
- “However, teachers do not routinely ensure that pupils’ written work reflects the same level of progress.”
- “Sometimes pupils’ books do not demonstrate secure spelling and handwriting skills.”
