Strengths

- “They are well-cared for by staff who know them very well, and they like to look after each other too.”
- “Pupils are part of a community where everyone wants them to be successful.”
To improve
- “However, on occasion, staff do not provide children in the early years with activities that match their needs or the planned curriculum.”
- “However, sometimes staff do not move pupils on readily when they have mastered key concepts.”
- “This slows pupils’ learning as they do not have sufficient opportunities to extend their learning.”
