Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to be part of this diverse school community.”
- “They enjoy learning about each other’s cultures and religions.”
- “They spoke positively about how staff encourage them to treat everybody as they would like to be treated themselves.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, leaders have not thought carefully about how learning should build logically from the early years into Year 1 and beyond.”
- “In these subjects, the early years staff are not clear enough about the precise knowledge that children should have to ensure that they are well prepared for key stage 1.”
