Strengths
- “This is an inclusive school, where the nurturing staff understand pupils’ needs and enable them to flourish.”
- “Leaders ensure that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), feel a sense of belonging at school and have equal access to opportunities.”
- “As a result, pupils want to be in school and attendance is increasing.”
To improve
- “In mathematics, some pupils take longer to secure this knowledge.”
- “While activities are typically matched well to what pupils need to know next, at times they do not focus on building pupils’ depth of knowledge as sharply as they could.”
- “However, the effectiveness of leaders' checks on the curriculum could be strengthened further.”
