Strengths
- “Right from the start of Reception, the school encourages pupils to be curious about the world around them and be connected to nature.”
- “Pupils thoroughly enjoy looking after hens, tending to their orchard, growing food on the allotment and selling their produce in the school shop.”
- “These activities are deeply enriching and help pupils to be happy and healthy and grow a very strong sense of responsibility.”
To improve
- “However, the school has not yet placed the same emphasis on the development of pupils’ writing skills.”
- “This means pupils sometimes make mistakes in their written work.”
- “These errors sometimes linger throughout their time at school.”
