Strengths
- “The school creates a vibrant and inclusive environment where pupils feel safe and happy and are eager to learn.”
- “Staff foster positive relationships with pupils and their families.”
- “This creates a sense of trust and belonging for pupils.”
To improve
- “However, in a couple of subjects, pupils do not have the opportunity to recall and connect new learning to what has been learned before.”
- “As a result, this affects how well some pupils deepen their knowledge in these subjects.”
- “Although the school helps pupils to become fluent and accurate readers, aspects of the curriculum for early writing are not implemented as well as they could be.”
