School remains Good Inspected 1 March 2022
Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to belong to this welcoming school community.”
- “They develop strong relationships with adults, who know them well and help them feel safe, valued and ready to learn.”
- “Pupils say that there is always someone they can talk to if they have a worry.”
To improve
- “Outcomes in mathematics and the Year 4 multiplication tables check have been weaker than leaders expected.”
- “While some pupils do not yet secure foundational knowledge and skills as strongly as leaders intend, leaders' work to strengthen these aspects of learning is appropriate and beginning to lead to improvements in pupils' achievement.”
- “However, some pupils do not develop vocabulary, handwriting and mathematical knowledge securely enough to support future learning.”
