Strengths
- “Children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are happy and feel safe at this school.”
- “They learn quickly that their feelings, ideas and comments matter to leaders and staff.”
- “Teachers and teaching assistants use their expert knowledge to respond well to the individual needs, development and interests of children.”
To improve
- “However, the school has not thought well enough about how to connect what children learn in the class for two-year-olds, with what they learn in the class for three- and four-year-olds.”
- “This means that staff build some of children’s learning less securely than they could.”
