Strengths
- “From the early years through to Year 6, pupils at this small school feel happy and safe, and genuinely love coming to learn.”
- “Staff get to know pupils well, which means that they are alert to pupils’ individual needs.”
- “The school accurately identifies any barriers to learning that pupils, including those who are disadvantaged or who have special educational needs and/or disabilities, may have.”
To improve
- “Published data in national tests does not reflect the strengths of the educational offer provided by the school.”
- “However, some pupils do not consistently apply neat handwriting in their independent written work.”
- “This limits their ability to write with accuracy and clarity.”
