Strengths
- “This school has high expectations for what all pupils can achieve.”
- “Disadvantaged pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), learn consistently well.”
- “Teachers expertly use time in nature to practise the new words pupils are learning and to build confidence in their physical abilities.”
To improve
- “However, the school has not yet placed the same emphasis on the development of pupils’ writing skills.”
- “This is either because sometimes pupils have not been taught these well enough or because gaps in learning these skills have not been identified and addressed.”
- “This means pupils sometimes make avoidable mistakes in their written work.”
