School remains Good Inspected 14 March 2023

Strengths

• “Children like coming to school.”
• “They enjoy the exciting range of opportunities to learn.”
• “For instance, the ‘question of the day’ encourages children to be inquisitive, and they listened keenly to find out what plants need to grow and how best to look after them.”

To improve

• “However, some staff follow this guidance without considering what they already know about a child.”
• “When this happens, staff do not give enough opportunities for some children to master basic skills or knowledge before moving them on to more complex learning.”
• “On occasion, this leads to gaps in some children’s learning.”

Safeguarding: Effective
