Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to attend this happy and welcoming school, where everyone knows each other by name.”
- “Christian values are at the heart of school life and reflected in the stated ambition to ‘love, learn, thrive’.”
- “Pupils are confident and articulate.”
To improve
- “Occasional incidents of name-calling, linked to competitive games, can upset pupils.”
- “Teachers do not link the phonics knowledge that pupils are learning to spellings sufficiently well.”
- “As a result, some pupils are less confident in using phonics for spellings and this is evident in their written work.”
