Strengths
- “Pupils love coming to this small, welcoming school.”
- “They are warmly cared for by kind, nurturing adults.”
- “Clear, well-established routines and kind, reassuring guidance from staff help pupils to behave well and feel safe.”
To improve
- “Leaders know that some elements of the wider curriculum are too vague, and that subject specific vocabulary needs emphasis.”
- “Consequently, while pupils achieve well overall, they do not learn and remember some of the curriculum, including important language, as well as they should.”
