Strengths
- “Pupils are at the heart of every decision in this caring junior school.”
- “The school’s support for pupils who are disadvantaged reflects a highly inclusive ethos.”
- “There are lofty ambitions for all, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
To improve
- “Published data for 2023 indicates that pupils were not always achieving positively in reading and mathematics.”
- “At the last inspection, the new leadership team had recently formed, and there were weaknesses with the curriculum and phonics provision.”
- “This has taken time to embed, so achievement was not reflected in published outcomes in July 2023.”
