Strengths
- “Pupils arrive at this welcoming school each day happy and eager to learn.”
- “They benefit from the warm and encouraging relationships that they forge with staff.”
- “Pupils know that the staff care about them and treat them as individuals.”
To improve
- “However, some aspects of the curriculum for children in the early years have not been finalised.”
- “This creates a lack of clarity about what children should learn.”
- “As a result, some children do not learn all that they should to make a successful start when they enter Year 1.”
