Strengths
- “Pupils love the small size of their school and build positive relationships across year groups.”
- “For example, children in the Reception year often choose to sit with older friends during calm and happy lunchtimes in the dining hall.”
- “Pupils feel their school is a special place.”
To improve
- “Leaders know attendance has been lower than national figures in recent years and are taking appropriate action to address this.”
- “Handwriting among older pupils is less consistent because they have had proportionately less time using the scheme.”
- “The previous inspection identified that the school’s curriculum needed further development.”
