Strengths

“Pupils enjoy coming to this caring school.”
“They attend regularly and feel safe.”
“The school’s motto of 'being the best we can be together' helps establish a bond between learners and staff.”

To improve

“However, this is not always the case for disadvantaged pupils.”
“Although these pupils’ needs are well known, teachers do not always adapt learning as agreed so that all pupils can access learning and do well.”
“The teaching of early reading and handwriting is also inconsistent.”
