Strengths
- “Pupils love their school and arrive happily each morning into a caring and welcoming environment.”
- “Pupils have warm, trusting relationships with adults in school.”
- “They know that staff will sort out any worries.”
To improve
- “However, at times some staff do not have high enough expectations for handwriting, and repeated errors with letter formation are not picked up and corrected.”
- “This hinders the development of fluent writing for some pupils.”
- “However, the school does not have a clear strategic overview of which interventions are the most effective.”
