Strengths
- “Pupils flourish at St Alban’s.”
- “They benefit from the support of skilled and caring staff, who know them well.”
- “Children quickly settle in the early years.”
To improve
- “However, a small number of pupils with SEND, and some pupils who are at the early stages of learning to speak English, do not catch up with their reading knowledge as quickly as they could.”
- “This sometimes hinders how well these pupils access the wider curriculum.”
