Strengths
- “They feel safe and happy here.”
- “Pupils enjoy their lessons and get on well with each other and with staff.”
- “Children in the early years settle in quickly because they feel secure with the adults who care for them.”
To improve
- “Improvements to the curriculum did not have sufficient time to impact upon the outcomes in mathematics for pupils at the end of key stage 2 in 2023.”
- “In a small number of subjects, the school’s understanding of the impact of the curriculum is at an earlier stage of development.”
- “This limits the school’s ability to make any further improvements to the curriculum so that it has the intended impact on pupils’ knowledge.”
