Strengths
- “Pupils thrive here, a word that many parents and carers choose themselves when describing their children's experience.”
- “Warm relationships with staff who are highly attuned to their individual needs and circumstances ensure that pupils feel well cared for in school.”
- “They trust adults to look after them and keep them safe.”
To improve
- “Occasionally, teachers set writing tasks that are too complex for pupils at a very early stage of writing, or do not pick up pupils' misconceptions in mathematics.”
- “Leaders have already identified the need to revisit the English and mathematics curriculums to ensure that the teaching of foundational skills is consistently highly effective.”
- “Leaders know that while there are many high-quality interactions when children are at play which extend their thinking, this is not always the case.”
