Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to school.”
- “They are supported by kind and nurturing adults who want to help pupils to achieve their best.”
- “This supports all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to be successful in lessons.”
To improve
- “However, a small number of curriculum areas are not clear enough.”
- “This leads to lessons where teachers do not consistently focus on the specific knowledge that it is most important for pupils to retain.”
- “However, this is less consistent in early years.”
