Strengths

“The school provides a warm and caring ethos that enables pupils to fulfil its vision for them to ‘be brave, be kind, be happy’.”
“Parents and carers, staff and pupils strongly endorse this popular school.”
“Pupils respond very well to the school’s high expectations in all areas.”

To improve

“However, teachers’ checks on pupils’ understanding is often limited.”
“Opportunities for pupils to consolidate their learning do not provide a complete view of what pupils know and can do.”
“For example, in mathematics, pupils do not receive the opportunities they need to record written calculations and form numbers correctly.”
