Strengths
- “Pupils play a large part in making this school the welcoming learning community that it is.”
- “They benefit from the positive relationships that they develop with staff and their friends.”
- “Playground pals and lunchtime helpers support younger pupils to enjoy positive breaktimes.”
To improve
- “However, these aspirations are not being met.”
- “This is because, over time, pupils in key stages 1 and 2 have not benefited from an ambitious curriculum that builds their knowledge.”
- “However, it is too early to see the impact of this work.”
