Strengths
- “Pupils thrive in this wonderfully inclusive school.”
- “They are particularly accepting of others, with respect at the heart of the school’s ethos.”
- “This is evident in the strong relationships between staff and pupils.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, the essential knowledge identified in the early years curriculum does not fully align with that identified in wider curriculum plans.”
- “For example, the essential knowledge and key vocabulary identified in science plans for seasonal change differ between curriculums.”
- “This hinders some children’s readiness for learning in Year 1.”
