Strengths
- “This is a happy and welcoming school.”
- “Pupils benefit from a broad and rich curriculum that extends their experience and stimulates their interests.”
- “Pupils are keen to share their learning.”
To improve
- “A small number of pupils have not developed their accuracy in handwriting, spelling and punctuation as well as they should.”
- “This is impacting on their writing fluency, which means that their written work sometimes does not reflect what they know and understand.”
