Strengths

- “Children in the early years love to explore the exciting activities that adults provide for them.”
- “Older pupils enjoy playing or chatting with their friends at breaktimes.”
To improve
- “This has led to some inconsistencies in provision, especially in the teaching of the mathematics curriculum.”
- “Unfortunately, this work came too late for pupils in Year 6 in 2024, who did not achieve as well as they should have.”
- “In a very small number of subjects, work to develop such an insight is at an earlier stage.”
