Strengths
- “This is a welcoming and inclusive school where pupils are happy.”
- “Pupils play together and are kind to each other.”
- “Play leaders ensure that everyone has someone to play with at breaktimes.”
To improve

- “Leaders have not yet put in place all of the support and resources required to help parents engage with their children’s education.”
- “This means that pupils do not make progress as quickly as they could.”
