Strengths
- “This is a happy school where friendships count.”
- “They are proud of their work and happy to share it with visitors.”
- “Staff set a high bar for pupils’ academic success and for their behaviour.”
To improve
- “However, expectations of what some can achieve is not high enough.”
- “This is because staff do not recognise quickly enough the very rapid progress some pupils make.”
- “This is especially the case with most-able readers who are ready to ‘fly’ and would benefit from additional challenge.”
