Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy their learning at Wray with Botton, where the school’s mission is for all pupils to ‘feel valued, challenged and encouraged’.”
- “Relationships between staff and pupils are warm and positive.”
- “Pupils feel safe and are well cared for.”
To improve
- “Pupils’ writing knowledge is not as strong as their reading skills.”
- “This is because the school’s approach to teaching early writing is not as effective as it could be.”
- “Sometimes, resources and activities for children in the early years and pupils in key stage 1 to practise writing are not well matched to their needs.”
