School remains Good Inspected 11 January 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils arrive to a warm welcome at the school gate.”
- “This creates a buzz of excitement and a positive start to the day.”
- “Because this is a small school, pupils say that they all get to know one another here and say that ‘everyone can have a friend’.”
To improve
- “However, there is not yet a clearly established approach to check precisely what pupils have learned from the intended curriculum across all the foundation subjects.”
- “This means that teachers are not always clear about what pupils know and remember and where they may need additional support.”
- “However, some older pupils at the earliest stages of reading are not taught using the same consistent standard and approach.”
