Strengths
- “Pupils thrive in this school because leaders have created a culture that promotes kindness and respect for each other.”
- “Pupils feel safe because staff take the time to listen and resolve their worries.”
- “Bullying or unkindness are extremely rare, but staff deal with these well so friendships can quickly resume.”
To improve
- “However, leaders know not all pupils read books with enough regularity to be fluent readers.”
- “This means that some pupils struggle to read words in full sentences.”
- “Although time has been provided each week for identified pupils to read to an adult, leaders recognise the need to increase these opportunities in the very near future.”
