Strengths
- “Being a pupil at this school feels safe, welcoming and full of opportunity.”
- “From the moment pupils arrive each morning, they know the staff care about them.”
- “There is a healthy culture of looking after one another.”
To improve
- “However, there is scope to strengthen this further so that even more pupils develop fluent handwriting and number skills.”
- “That said, there is still room to sharpen practice further, for example strengthening fluency with number and giving pupils more consistent guidance about careful letter formation and pencil grip.”
- “Leaders keep watch on adults’ work and identify where further development is needed, such as strengthening how staff use daily conversations to extend children’s learning.”
