Strengths
- “Pupils are proud of their friendly and inclusive school.”
- “They attend well and enjoy their learning and wider experiences.”
- “From their start in Nursery, children settle in well with their peers and adults.”
To improve
- “The school's recent phonics screening outcomes are weaker than national comparators.”
- “However, there are a few occasions when activities do not help all pupils to build on what they already know and remember.”
- “This could be strengthened further through greater precision in the way leaders and governors check the impact of their actions on pupils' learning and wellbeing.”
