Strengths
- “Pupils thrive at this nurturing and welcoming school.”
- “Pupils know that staff care about them and will help them if they feel worried or unhappy.”
- “The school quickly and sensitively gives, and seeks out, help and support for these pupils and families.”
To improve
- “However, pupils’ handwriting is not always of a high standard.”
- “This limits pupils’ ability to accurately record their knowledge and understanding and present their work clearly.”
- “Opportunities to ascertain how well the curriculum is delivered are limited, so the school does not have a consistent view of how well pupils do in all subjects.”
