Strengths

- “They show impeccable manners, politely welcoming all, as they hold open doors and greet everyone with a smile.”
- “The school prioritises pupils’ mental health and well-being.”
To improve
- “Despite this, in 2023, key stage 2 pupils’ achievement in reading, mathematics and writing was much lower than the national average.”
- “However, in a few subjects, such as science, this knowledge is not detailed precisely enough.”
- “This means that staff are not as clear on what to teach and when in these subjects.”
