Strengths
- “Pupils describe the school as a ‘gigantic family’.”
- “This gives them a sense of belonging and security.”
- “However, pupils and adults appreciate how the school has maintained a ‘small school feel’.”
To improve
- “In Reception, the curriculum beyond mathematics and reading is in place but is less precisely defined.”
- “The school has improved pupils’ overall attendance; however, some groups have not fully benefitted from the school’s efforts.”
- “Consequently, some pupils miss school too often, leaving gaps in their learning.”
