Good Inspected 22 March 2022

Strengths

“However, pupils appreciate the changes leaders are making, such as introducing den building to encourage creative play.”
“The revised start-of-day routine helps pupils enter school calmly.”
“Pupils appreciate the warm bagels on offer for breakfast, which help provide a welcoming start to the school day.”

To improve

“Many pupils are underachieving.”
“Too many struggle to communicate, read, write and calculate at the level expected for their age.”
“Barriers to learning are not being overcome because adaptations are not used consistently or effectively.”
