Strengths
- “Pupils love attending this happy and inclusive school.”
- “Attendance is consistently high over time, reflecting pupils’ positive experiences.”
- “Caring relationships are at the heart of the school.”
To improve
- “However, some younger pupils do not secure accuracy in the basics of writing quickly enough, particularly with handwriting, spelling and punctuation.”
- “However, on some occasions, learning tasks are not reshaped to build on what pupils know and can do.”
- “This means that sometimes pupils are not appropriately challenged while others, including some pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, are not provided with the precise support they need.”
