Strengths
- “From early years, pupils are very well supported by staff.”
- “Pupils are warmly greeted on arrival, and many enjoy attending ‘FLAG’ breakfast club.”
- “This allows them to energetically play with friends of different ages, or quietly enjoy games and conversations with adults.”
To improve
- “In a minority of subjects, the curriculum is not as clearly sequenced and planned.”
- “Leaders have not been sufficiently precise about the important knowledge that pupils need to know and remember.”
- “This means that teachers are not clear about what pupils need to learn.”
