Strengths
- “From Nursery to Year 6, children and pupils experience a warm and nurturing environment, where they are safe, happy and well supported.”
- “They form positive friendships and build trusting, respectful relationships with staff.”
- “Pupils value the adults, who care for them and are confident that any worries will be listened to and acted upon.”
To improve
- “However, in some areas such as mathematics and early writing, pupils do not always receive the support they need to be consistently successful.”
- “When this happens, some lose focus and their progress slows.”
- “Pupils’ outcomes over the past 3 years show an uneven picture.”
