Strengths
- “Pupils feel safe and well cared for.”
- “They told inspectors how much they enjoy the many clubs, trips and activities that are on offer to them.”
- “Pupils explained that these opportunities broaden their horizons and encourage them to develop new talents and interests.”
To improve
- “However, these aspirations are often not realised, especially for some pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
- “Nonetheless, pupils are not as well prepared as they should be for the next stages of their education.”
- “Published data for this school in 2023 showed that the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and mathematics was low in both key stages 1 and 2.”
