Strengths

“Pupils strive to show the school’s values of; chesed (be kind), resilience (try hard) and respect (everyone matters) in everything they do.”
“At the breakfast club, on the playground and in the dining room, pupils greet visitors enthusiastically.”
“They are proud to belong to this inclusive community.”

To improve

“However, some pupils’ foundational writing skills, such as handwriting, spelling and punctuation, are not secure.”
“Sometimes, teachers’ expectations of the quality of work pupils produce are not consistently high.”
“As a result, the standard of some pupils’ recorded work could be better and their ability to express more complex learning is hampered.”
