Strengths
- “Pupils belong to a school community where staff know them well, value their contributions and encourage them to do their best every day.”
- “The school embraces its close-knit community where kindness and respect are second nature.”
- “Pupils, and children in the early years, are happy and feel safe.”
To improve
- “However, there is some variability in how well they remember prior learning over time.”
- “Some aspects of the curriculum, such as writing, are newer and therefore the full impact has not yet been realised.”
- “Opportunities for deeper thinking and developing memory are well established in some subjects but not all.”
