Strengths
- “Pupils arrive at school each morning with a smile.”
- “They are met with a warm welcome by staff who know and understand them well.”
- “The school is a happy and nurturing place.”
To improve
- “Occasionally, staff do not identify and address gaps that some pupils have in their knowledge.”
- “When this happens, some pupils move on to new learning before they are ready.”
- “However, on occasion, the activities that teachers design do not support pupils to deepen their knowledge as well as they could.”
