Strengths
- “Every pupil receives a warm welcome and a smile at the start of each day.”
- “Pupils are proud of their school, of how they get along together and of how kind they are.”
- “This is a caring school with a real sense of family and belonging.”
To improve
- “In some foundation subjects, leaders have not yet set out precisely what they want children to learn.”
- “This means that pupils do not build essential knowledge securely and are unable to practise using it in different contexts.”
- “Teachers do not check for secure understanding before moving the learning on.”
