Strengths
- “This school is a haven of kindness and belonging.”
- “Pupils respond positively to the high expectations set for their behaviour and achievement.”
- “They present their work neatly and are proud of their accomplishments.”
To improve
- “Nevertheless, sometimes, teaching does not check and help pupils secure the important knowledge and understanding before moving on to new work, including in phonics.”
- “Where this happens, pupils do not learn as well as they could.”
