Strengths
- “Pupils very much enjoy coming to school.”
- “They have a strong understanding of kindness, compassion and respect.”
- “Pupils demonstrate this through the way that they behave towards one another and how they treat those outside of their school community.”
To improve
- “While the school is ambitious for pupils’ success, some pupils do not achieve highly enough.”
- “These pupils are not as well prepared for secondary school as they should be.”
- “However, despite the positive start in the early years, the school has not ensured that some pupils in key stages 1 and 2 have sufficient opportunities to practise their reading.”
