Strengths
- “Sharpness is a friendly and welcoming school.”
- “Each morning begins on a positive note as staff greet pupils and families warmly at the gate.”
- “This calm, caring start helps everyone settle quickly for the day ahead.”
To improve
- “However, from the early years onwards, too many pupils do not secure the basic writing knowledge they need.”
- “Teaching does not consistently address gaps in pupils' writing, including letter formation, spelling or sentence accuracy.”
- “This slows the pace at which some pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, become fluent, confident writers and affects their ability to learn the curriculum.”
