- “Staff know pupils well and build warm, positive relationships based on trust and respect.”
To improve
- “However, aspects of writing, such as spelling and handwriting, are not yet secure for all pupils.”
- “Leaders recognise that recent curriculum and teaching improvements need to be applied consistently across all classes so that all pupils develop secure knowledge and skills.”
- “While many interactions between adults and children effectively extend learning, this is not yet consistent.”
