Strengths
- “Positive relationships lie at the heart of this happy, calm school.”
- “Pupils and children in the early years are respectful to each other and have developed strong bonds with the nurturing staff.”
- “They are clear that anyone would be welcome at this small, friendly school.”
To improve
- “However, the school does not focus this support sharply enough on pupils’ precise gaps in phonics knowledge.”
- “This does not help them to catch up quickly when they fall behind.”
