Strengths

- “They are proud to attend the school and enjoy their learning.”
- “Pupils are very enthusiastic when talking about their school.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, leaders’ plans do not include sufficient detail and are not clear enough to make sure pupils learn all the knowledge they need.”
- “However, there are occasions when adults do not check routinely whether all children have remembered the knowledge they are taught.”
- “For a small number of pupils, this leads to gaps in the foundation knowledge needed for learning in Year 1.”
