Strengths
- “One parent captured the sentiments of many parents and carers when they wrote: ‘This is a little gem of a school.”
- “Relationships are warm and trusting.”
- “Pupils feel safe in this small, inclusive school.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes pupils are not moved on to more challenging learning quickly enough.”
- “However, sometimes pupils in Year 2 repeat phonics knowledge that they have already achieved in Year 1.”
- “When this happens, pupils are prevented from applying their understanding to new and more challenging texts.”
