Strengths
- “This is a buoyant and nurturing small school with big ambitions.”
- “Leaders’ aspirations are warmly inclusive.”
- “Their high expectations are realised through strong, shared values.”
To improve
- “Behaviour is positive, apart from when pupils are over-excited and talk when adults are speaking.”
- “However, this is not entirely consistent.”
- “Sometimes, activities do not precisely match the planned learning, which renders assessment less effective.”
