Strengths
- “Pupils are enormously proud of their small, happy and friendly school.”
- “They eagerly show off their work and talk excitedly about what they have been learning.”
- “Pupils are confident and happy because they feel safe and well cared for by nurturing staff.”
To improve
- “However, learning does not always meet the specific needs of each pupil.”
- “While staff understand pupils’ special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), teaching is not always designed to help all pupils learn as well as they could.”
- “In some lessons, learning activities can be too difficult for pupils who do not have the reading skills they need to understand what teachers expect of them.”
