Strengths
- “Pupils are happy at this welcoming school.”
- “In class they are keen to learn and appreciate how well their teachers know them.”
- “Older pupils take pride in helping younger children as reading buddies and during social times in the playground.”
To improve
- “While these are already having a widespread positive impact, staff recognise that continued refinement will be needed before they are fully realised to help pupils achieve highly across the curriculum.”
- “However, in some areas, the new curriculum is not yet securely in place, and pupils are not consistently applying previous learning in their lessons.”
- “Early reading and early mathematics are taught frequently and accurately but are less common in play activities.”
