Strengths
- “St Dubricius is a happy and inclusive school.”
- “Adults’ relationships with pupils are warm and nurturing.”
- “Older pupils understand what bullying is, but say that it rarely happens.”
To improve
- “However, leaders have not fully aligned the early years curriculum with that of the wider school, so that it links to what children need to know to be ready for Year 1.”
- “However, a minority say that communication about their child’s progress or changes taking place in the school is not frequent or detailed enough.”
