Strengths
- “Pupils say that they enjoy school because ‘everyone knows everyone here’.”
- “Parents also praise the school’s caring ethos, saying that it has ‘a lovely community feel’.”
- “Pupils who are new to the school settle quickly.”
To improve
- “Leaders’ checks on the impact of the curriculum are not systematic.”
- “This currently limits leaders’ overview of how well pupils know what they have been taught across the range of subjects.”
- “This is because pupils did not develop as fluent, confident readers as quickly as they should have.”
