Strengths
- “This is a school where the school’s values of achievement, belief, creativity, determination and enthusiasm permeate all that happens throughout each day.”
- “Pupils are proud of what they do and how they do it.”
- “Pupils take their learning and their care of each other seriously.”
To improve
- “However, there is more to be done as some units of work are not taught in a logical order and do not allow pupils to build their learning up well enough over time.”
- “They are less sure when trying to recall learning from a little while ago.”
- “Occasionally, resources across the early years lack quality and have the potential to hinder children’s learning.”
