Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy being part of this welcoming and happy school community.”
- “They say they feel a sense of belonging from the moment they arrive and use phrases such as 'like a family' and 'this school feels like home' to describe their experiences.”
- “Pupils feel known by adults and trust that there are people who will listen to them, help them when things are difficult and celebrate with them when things go well.”
To improve
- “However, the teaching of writing, including handwriting, is less consistently effective.”
- “Some pupils, including those who reverse letters or numbers, receive feedback on their handwriting but do not routinely benefit from purposeful opportunities to practise.”
- “At times, this affects how fluently they write down their ideas.”
