Strengths
- “A sense of kindness permeates through this school.”
- “Pupils are welcomed by staff who know them, their families and their individual needs well.”
- “Consequently, pupils enjoy coming to school.”
To improve
- “It recognises that many pupils previously have not achieved as well as they could have.”
- “Published outcomes in 2024 national assessments at the end of key stage 2 were low.”
- “However, on occasion, information from these checks is not used effectively to inform subsequent learning activities and gaps in pupils’ knowledge are not addressed before pupils move on.”
