Strengths
- “Richard Durning’s aptly describes itself as ‘a small school with a big heart’.”
- “It has a strong sense of family and community.”
- “Staff understand and nurture their pupils’ individual personalities.”
To improve
- “However, in some other parts of the early years curriculum, the school has not clarified the smaller steps of foundational knowledge that children should acquire over time.”
- “Sometimes, children do not encounter new knowledge in a coherent manner and the school is not as well placed as it could be to help pupils to build on what they already know when they move into key stage 1.”
