Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy a school culture where they feel valued and understood.”
- “The positive relationships that staff have with pupils and their families underpin their nurturing and caring approach.”
- “Pupils feel included in all aspects of school life, including those pupils who attend the specially resourced provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
To improve
- “However, although leaders have addressed a number of aspects of historic underperformance at the school, some remain.”
- “Pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, do not learn and achieve as well as they should.”
- “The attainment of pupils, including in the Year 1 phonics check and at the end of key stage 2 in reading, writing and mathematics, has been below national averages in recent years.”
