Strengths
- “Children get off to a flying start in the early years.”
- “Parents and carers say their children feel loved, cared for and flourish at school.”
- “Staff know the pupils and their families well.”
To improve
- “Nevertheless, leaders recognise that there needs to be greater consistency in teachers’ curriculum subject knowledge and the use of assessment information to close gaps and plan future learning in some subjects.”
- “Where teachers’ subject knowledge is not secure and assessment methods are not agreed, learning activities are not adequately adapted to rectify these gaps.”
- “For example, some pupils find it difficult to complete maps in geography correctly.”
