Strengths
- “Pupils are cherished at this small and friendly school.”
- “The school’s motto, ‘let your light shine’, is brought to life daily.”
- “Pupils are supported to achieve their personal best.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, and areas of learning in the early years, the school is still refining the precise knowledge that pupils should learn.”
- “This means that on occasions, staff find it difficult to design learning that helps pupils to gain important knowledge.”
- “This leads to some gaps in pupils’ learning that stop them from building on what they already know.”
