Strengths
- “Pupils’ positive relationships with caring staff, coupled with the range of experiences that the school provides, helps them to become confident and independent.”
- “This helps pupils to feel happy at school.”
- “The school has high expectations of pupils’ behaviour.”
To improve
- “However, there remain a small number of areas where the school has not identified this in sufficient detail.”
- “This hinders staff when they design some learning activities, as it is not clear what they should focus on.”
- “As a result, some pupils are not as well prepared for the demands of the Year 1 curriculum as they could be.”
