Strengths
- “All policies include the strapline ‘Respect, Aspire, Achieve’, and these aspirations run through the school like a golden thread.”
- “This is a small school with big ambitions for pupils’ achievement in all aspects of their learning.”
- “Pupils behave well, and they are kind, respectful and courteous.”
To improve
- “Pupils achieve well in a range of subjects, including music, reading and mathematics, but some pupils do not achieve as well as they should in some other curriculum subjects.”
- “They did not achieve as well in the Year 4 multiplication tables check or the Year 6 national tests last year.”
- “In a few foundation curriculum subjects, the school’s expectations of what pupils can achieve are too low.”
