Strengths
- “Pupils are happy at this nurturing, inclusive school.”
- “They build positive relationships with staff and each other.”
- “Children learn to listen, share and take turns from the start of the early years.”
To improve
- “In a few foundation subjects, the school’s work is more recent and is still being embedded.”
- “Pupils do not yet build on their prior learning as well as the school intends in those subjects.”
- “However, this support does not match all pupils’ needs well enough.”
