Strengths

“Pupils love attending this friendly and welcoming school that is at the heart of the community.”
“The warm and nurturing relationships between adults and pupils that permeate the school are summed up by one pupil who said, ‘We are surrounded by love and kindness.”
“Pupils know that if they have a worry, there is an adult who will listen to them.”

To improve

“However, in several wider subject areas, the curriculum is being revised.”
“This is because the school has identified that the previous curriculum did not always build well enough on what pupils already know.”
“Furthermore, in some areas of the wider curriculum, teachers do not consistently use assessment well enough to check that pupils fully understand what they have been taught.”
