Strengths

- “They form strong relationships with staff and each other.”

To improve
- “Most pupils build knowledge and skills securely over time, although some are less secure in applying aspects of their learning consistently.”
- “Sometimes, staff do not model foundational skills precisely enough, particularly in basic skills such as handwriting.”
- “This means that some pupils do not learn and practise these skills as often as they could.”
