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.”
