Strengths
- “Pupils arrive at school happily each morning.”
- “They are greeted with a warm bagel by nurturing staff who know them well.”
- “Pupils with additional needs settle quickly because staff give them the right support at the right time.”
To improve
- “The 2025 published data shows that, by the end of Year 6, pupils' attainment in reading, writing and mathematics is below the national average.”
- “However, at times, some of the activities that staff design are not matched well enough to pupils' needs.”
- “This hinders a few pupils from building new learning onto what they already know.”
