School remains Good Inspected 7 July 2022
Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and keen to come to school each day.”
- “They say that their teachers always make learning interesting.”
- “Many also enjoy reading stories to the school dogs, Nala and Copper.”
To improve
- “In mathematics, however, the closure of these gaps is taking longer for a small number of pupils in Years 3 to 5.”
- “While leaders have put in place additional support for these pupils, this help is not ensuring that they can catch up quickly with their classmates.”
- “This means that they do not have the mathematical knowledge and understanding to achieve as well as they could.”
