Strengths
- “Pupils talk about their inclusive and welcoming school with great joy and enthusiasm.”
- “As one pupil commented to inspectors, ‘You will love it here too!”
- “Pupils know the school’s values of respect, readiness, resourcefulness, responsibility, resilience and reflectiveness well.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, there is more work to do to ensure that the small steps that pupils need to take to develop a broader skill or competency are clear.”
- “However, the school recognises that it needs to think more carefully about what each child needs to know and be able to do by the end of Reception to be fully prepared for Year 1.”
- “The school identified, just prior to the pandemic, that not all pupils were successfully learning to read at an age-appropriate standard.”
