Strengths
- “Pupils are happy at this nurturing school.”
- “They love the school’s focus on learning in the outdoors.”
- “Staff teach pupils about life beyond the school thoughtfully, such as learning about deforestation, and how to care for nature and the environment.”
To improve
- “The school does not have high enough expectations for what pupils can achieve across the full curriculum, including in the early years.”
- “In some subject areas, including mathematics, phonics and early reading, some pupils do not develop their knowledge and understanding securely.”
- “As a result, some pupils do not achieve as well as they should by the end of Reception and key stage 2.”
