Strengths
- “They share strong relationships with each other and staff.”
- “In the early years, children quickly learn leaders’ high expectations of behaviour.”
- “Pupils learn how to work well together in lessons and play happily on the playground.”
To improve
- “However, when new staff arrive at the school, leaders are not completely clear about the behaviour policy so inconsistencies arise.”
- “This leads to some variation in the quality of behaviour in some areas of the school.”
- “However, some parents have expressed concerns about the quality of communication between the school and home.”
