Strengths
- “Everyone receives a joyful welcome at this nurturing and successful primary school in the heart of Brighton.”
- “Parents describe the school as ‘supportive, loving and caring’.”
- “Pupils understand and uphold the school ethos that ‘fair means everyone gets what they need, not that everyone gets the same’.”
To improve
- “Leaders are sharply focused on where to make further improvements, as some subjects are not as fully developed in every class.”
- “Occasionally, while lesson activities are exciting for pupils, tasks are not precisely designed to ensure that key knowledge is remembered long-term.”
- “In these instances, pupils are engaged but do not fully understand and retain curriculum content.”
