Strengths
- “Pupils, staff, parents and carers are proud to be members of this happy, caring school.”
- “One pupil told the inspector: ‘Everyone is kind here, and the staff are really encouraging.”
- “Pupils say that they feel safe.”
To improve
- “This means that some pupils forget their learning because they are not building on firm foundations.”
- “However, leaders’ checks on other curriculum areas do not always focus on progression of knowledge and skills from the early years to Year 6.”
- “There is some inconsistency in some pupils’ knowledge of the fundamental British values and world faiths.”
