Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to this warm and welcoming school.”
- “Pupils feel part of a caring community because staff know them well.”

To improve
- “On a very small number of occasions, staff do not ensure that pupils' knowledge of spelling and punctuation is fully secure before moving on to the next learning.”
- “Where this happens, pupils do not remember and apply this knowledge as well as they should.”
- “The impact of some of this work is not yet fully embedded.”
