Strengths

“This is a school where care, support and nurture are abundant.”
“From the moment children enter the Nursery Year, they develop a strong sense of belonging that builds their confidence as learners.”
“The early years provision has a delightful, homely feel, enabling children to explore and learn with enthusiasm.”

To improve

“However, pupils are not consistently supported well enough to secure the essential knowledge and skills they need in reading, writing and spelling.”
“Staff do not routinely address errors in pupils’ written work, which hinders pupils' achievement.”
“Attendance, however, remains too low for some pupils, limiting their access to the full curriculum and wider experiences.”
