Strengths
- “Pupils behave and concentrate very well in this warm and inclusive school.”
- “They consider the views of others and share their own confidently.”
- “Pupils have a clear understanding of diversity in their own school and the wider community.”
To improve
- “However, occasionally, teachers select activities that do not help pupils to make connections to what they have already learned.”
- “This means that pupils do not always deepen their essential knowledge.”
- “The school has responded quickly to the low published outcomes in phonics in 2023.”
