Strengths
- “Pupils smile, care and look out for each other.”
- “They happily skip into school to learn each day.”
- “Tender relationships exist between staff and the young pupils.”
To improve
- “However, in early years, leaders’ curriculum thinking is not precise enough in some areas of learning.”
- “This is because leaders have not determined first the essential knowledge before they plan activities for the children to carry out.”
- “However, restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic have hampered some pupils’ progress in learning to read quickly.”
