Strengths
- “Pupils come to a warm, family-feel school where they feel safe, valued and happy.”
- “They talk about their friends as kind and caring.”
- “Pupils know how to keep themselves safe and that adults will listen and help them if they are worried.”
To improve
- “However, some teaching in small group lessons is not always sharp enough in ensuring that all pupils make as much progress as they could in catching up quickly.”
- “Elements of writing such as handwriting and spelling are sometimes less secure.”
- “However, additional literacy practice to keep pupils on track is not always exact.”
