Strengths
- “Pupils attend this warm and welcoming school eagerly because they know staff care deeply for them and put their needs and interests first.”
- “Pupils say: ‘It feels like a second home.”
- “Teachers and children are really kind and caring.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, the school has not identified precisely enough how the knowledge pupils learn builds progressively over time.”
- “Clear links between learning are not precise enough to enable pupils to achieve the same high standard as they do in reading, writing and mathematics.”
