Strengths
- “Pupils are happy at this welcoming school, which is built on strong relationships.”
- “Pupils know adults will listen and help whenever needed.”
- “From the very start of the early years, children thrive in this nurturing environment.”
To improve
- “In 2024, some pupils’ attainment, for example in mathematics at the end of key stage 2, was significantly below the national average.”
- “Nevertheless, in a few remaining subjects, including some areas of learning in the early years, the school is still refining its work to ensure that staff are clear about what they want pupils to learn.”
- “This means that, sometimes, staff find it difficult to design learning that helps pupils to gain important knowledge.”
