Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending this welcoming and inclusive school, where the motto ‘Be the best you can be’ shapes daily life.”
- “It is a small school with a strong sense of community, where pupils and families feel known and valued.”
- “Pupils say they feel safe because adults care, listen and respond when needed.”
To improve
- “However, some pupils, particularly older pupils, have gaps in their knowledge, especially in writing and mathematics.”
- “These gaps reflect disruptions to their learning over time and mean they are not always as well prepared as they should be for the next stage.”
- “Children in the early years settle well and feel secure, but they do not consistently gain the knowledge and skills needed for Year 1.”
