Strengths
- “Beginning in the early years, the inclusive ethos is a strength of the school.”
- “Children and staff form warm relationships.”
- “Children settle quickly into school and are keen to learn.”
To improve

- “As a result, in some areas the school has not checked how well the curriculum is working to help pupils to learn.”
- “This means that in these areas pupils do not learn as well.”
