Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending this welcoming and happy school.”
- “The school wants the very best for everyone and pupils are at the heart of all it does.”
- “Staff have high expectations of all pupils, and pupils respond well to these.”
To improve
- “However, pupils do not yet have sufficient opportunities to develop, practise and apply their grammar, punctuation and spelling skills in a range of subjects.”
- “As a result, pupils do not develop the knowledge, determination and fluency they need to become more confident and skilled readers and writers by the end of Year 6.”
- “However, expectations for the teaching of handwriting and the presentation of work are not high enough, and inconsistencies in teaching mean that the quality of work is often variable.”
