Strengths
- “Pupils arrive cheerfully to school.”
- “They are welcomed by staff and each other.”
- “Routines are embedded across the year groups, creating a calm start to the day.”
To improve
- “Most pupils attend regularly, but a significant minority miss too much of their education, which hinders the progress they make over time.”
- “However, some aspects of the wider curriculum and the regularity of its delivery are variable.”
- “As a result, some pupils do not consistently build knowledge securely over time.”
