Good Inspected 21 November 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils are happy to be at this school.”
- “They take great pride in showing care to each other.”
- “Older pupils place a high value on being able to serve as ‘buddies’ to those in the Reception class.”
To improve
- “Although this high achievement is not mirrored in some other areas of the curriculum, pupils still achieve well in most subjects.”
- “That said, the school has not been as thorough in breaking down exactly what children in early years need to learn into a logical order.”
- “In some areas of learning, it is not clear enough to staff what children in early years need to know, and by when, in order to be fully prepared for Year 1.”
