Strengths
- “Pupils feel welcome and happy at this school.”
- “They enjoy relaxing and socialising in the woodland playground and having swimming lessons in the school pool.”
- “As one pupil put it: ‘Everyone is so kind and comforting; this school feels like my second home.”
To improve
- “However, this practice is not yet consistent across the curriculum.”
- “During lessons, teachers use questioning to check that pupils fully understand, but they do not always address misconceptions as they arise.”
- “Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the school recognised a more consistent and systematic approach to the teaching of early reading was needed.”
