- “They flourish due to its peaceful atmosphere and the positive relationships that they have with staff, who care for them well.”
- “In the early years, children make a positive start to their education.”
To improve
- “However, on occasion, staff do not address promptly the gaps and misunderstandings that some pupils develop in their learning.”
- “This means that these pupils move on to new learning before they are ready.”
- “However, at times, the support that some pupils receive does not focus sufficiently on what they need to improve.”
