Strengths
- “At Homer First School and Nursery, everyone shares the vision that 'When we work hard and we are kind, amazing things happen.' Pupils enjoy coming to school and feel known and cared for.”
- “They develop a sense of belonging within this close-knit community.”
- “Pupils feel safe, trust adults to help them and understand how to keep themselves safe, including online.”
To improve
- “However, leaders do not analyse attendance information closely enough to make sure that it improves for all pupils, particularly those who need the most support.”
- “However, learning does not always build securely on pupils’ prior knowledge or deepen their understanding.”
- “Pupils do not consistently use accurate vocabulary or present their work well across subjects, so the quality of work varies across the curriculum.”
