Strengths
- “This is a nurturing and welcoming school.”
- “Staff equip pupils with effective strategies to manage their emotions and behaviour.”
- “Relationships are fundamental to the school’s success.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, the curriculum is not coherently sequenced.”
- “This means that, sometimes, pupils do not develop a secure understanding of the curriculum.”
- “However, for a small number of pupils, this support lacks precision, which slows their progress in building reading fluency and confidence.”
