Strengths
- “Pupils get off to a great start in their education here.”
- “Strong relationships between adults and children, right from when they join the nursery, means that children settle quickly and learn happily.”
- “Adults ensure that they get to know pupils as individuals.”
To improve
- “However, when subjects have been reviewed or redeveloped more recently, teachers’ subject knowledge is not as secure as it could be.”
- “Occasionally, teachers do not use the most effective strategies to help pupils connect ideas together and remember what they have learned.”
- “This means that pupils do not always achieve as well as they could.”
