Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and proud to be part of this school.”
- “They describe it as a place where they feel safe, supported and included.”
- “Pupils arrive each day ready to learn, settle quickly into well-established routines and engage with their lessons positively.”
To improve
- “The development of important knowledge is not yet consistently secure, however.”
- “Some pupils continue to make basic errors in spelling, punctuation and handwriting, and these are not always addressed consistently.”
- “This slows the rate at which gaps close, which limits how fully some pupils secure the knowledge needed to achieve as highly as they could.”
