Strengths

- “Pupils enjoy coming to school here.”
- “Pupils arrive cheerfully, brimming with enthusiasm for the day ahead.”
To improve
- “However, links to the early years are not as strong in a few other subjects, such as history.”

- “When this happens, pupils sometimes finish work too quickly or it lacks sufficient challenge, meaning they do not achieve as well as they could.”
