Strengths
- “Pupils are rightly proud of their school.”
- “They attend well and arrive promptly each morning laughing and smiling, ready to start the day.”
- “Inspectors agreed with one parent and carer who said, ‘This is a lovely little school with great learning and a great sense of community.”
To improve
- “However, it is more developed in subjects such as religious education (RE) and personal, social and health education (PSHE) than it is in a small number of other subjects.”
- “However, in a small number of areas, such as understanding the world and expressive arts and design, the school could give more careful thought to how these areas are structured and the links between the early years and key stage 1.”
- “However, in a small number of subjects, teachers’ use of this information to adapt future learning for pupils is less developed.”
