Strengths
- “Staff create a family, caring ethos.”
- “Mabel the dog helps to soothe pupils’ anxieties, a family of hens scratch happily in their home, little library areas dotted around provide spaces to stop and read a book, and carefully designed classrooms provide calm places to learn.”
- “This helps to create an environment in which pupils feel secure.”
To improve
- “However, for a few pupils who are working below expectations, assessment information does not identify exactly what pupils need to learn next.”
- “However, at times, these pupils, including some who are disadvantaged, do not receive the support that they need to develop their reading fluency as well as they should.”
