Strengths
- “Pupils are welcomed warmly at the start of each day.”
- “They enjoy attending this school where they are part of a community that is dedicated to being ‘kind, motivated and successful’.”
- “Staff prioritise getting to know pupils and their families well.”
To improve
- “However, opportunities for thinking at greater depth are not consistently identified and embedded.”
- “This means that some pupils do not achieve as highly as they could.”
- “In writing, the curriculum is ambitious but is not broken down into the clear steps that pupils need to learn.”
