Strengths
- “Pupils begin school with a warm welcome from staff who know them well.”
- “This helps them feel valued and part of a community where diversity is celebrated.”
- “Pupils describe their school as a place where everyone is encouraged to be the best they can be, whatever their background or starting point.”
To improve
- “In some cases, spelling, handwriting and punctuation are not fully secure, which can lead to inconsistencies in their written work.”
- “Leaders also address punctuality, which remains a concern for a small number of pupils.”
- “In a minority of cases, these basic skills in writing are not checked as consistently, meaning errors in work remain over time.”
