Strengths
- “The school is a warm and welcoming community.”
- “Pupils are proud of their school.”
- “They place high worth on how the entire school comes together every day to celebrate each other’s successes and reflect on the important values that they share.”
To improve
- “However, these checks do not always support pupils to produce written work of a standard that enables them to explain their thinking in depth.”
- “Consequently, while pupils’ work is stronger than historical key stage 2 outcomes suggest, some pupils’ learning is not as deep as it could be.”
- “However, some pupils do not always read books that are appropriate for their reading knowledge.”
