Strengths
- “Pupils develop a sense of belonging at this school in a range of different ways.”
- “One of these ways includes the opportunities to become a positive member of their school community.”
- “For example, the ‘St Andrew’s Asks’ group allows pupils to contribute their views on how aspects of school life could be even better.”
To improve
- “By the time they finish Year 6, too many pupils have not securely learned the important knowledge they need in reading, writing and mathematics.”
- “This hinders how well prepared they are for the next stage of their education.”
- “Some pupils’ learning is also negatively impacted by their persistent absence from school.”
