Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy their time at school.”
- “‘It’s as good as it gets,’ said one pupil about mathematics lessons, reflecting the views of other classmates.”
- “The school lives up to its belief in ‘a happy childhood at its core’.”
To improve
- “However, the extent to which the delivery of the wider curriculum is adapted to achieve this for all pupils is not yet as consistent in all subjects as it is in reading and mathematics.”
- “Some aspects of the wider curriculum have been revised more recently, for example switching from teaching Spanish to French, so are not as fully embedded as other subjects.”
