Strengths
- “Pupils arrive happily each morning knowing they will learn plenty and have fun with their friends.”
- “They learn the difference between right and wrong at a very early stage.”
- “Strong relationships ensure that pupils learn in a calm, nurturing and inclusive environment.”
To improve
- “However, some teachers need further support to ensure they have strategies to ensure all pupils learn as well as they could in all subjects.”
- “However, some members of staff do not have the sharpness of professional understanding that is necessary.”
- “This means that a few pupils who are struggling to learn to read are not given the precise support they need.”
