Strengths
- “Pupils experience a warm, welcoming and inclusive school where they are known, valued and cared for as individuals.”
- “Staff work closely with families from the start to understand children's needs and to provide support when it is needed.”
- “As a result, pupils settle quickly, develop a sense of belonging and feel safe because they know that staff care about them.”
To improve
- “However, inconsistencies in how teachers check learning and apply their expectations of writing mean that some pupils do not achieve as highly as they might.”
- “However, attendance remains below national averages, reflecting the challenges faced by some pupils and families and the number of pupils who join the school with historically low attendance.”
- “However, teachers do not consistently ensure that learning is broken down into manageable steps.”
