Strengths
- “Children come first at this small, welcoming school.”
- “Adults understand this and respond accordingly, though pupils themselves know that they have their own part to play in making this a happy place to be.”
- “Pupils are positive about learning.”
To improve
- “This is having a clear impact on improving pupils’ early reading skills, but there is still variability in the way some staff teach phonics, including to pupils who need additional support.”
- “However, classroom visits identified that in some mathematics lessons, staff are not challenging pupils enough.”
- “At times, the activities pupils are expected to participate in do not engage them well enough.”
