Strengths
- “The school recognises the importance of smooth transition into the Nursery Year and into Year 3.”
- “It prepares pupils well for their next stage of learning.”
- “Parents and carers view the school as a place where their children are supported academically and emotionally.”
To improve
- “However, teaching does not consistently check pupils’ understanding carefully enough in lessons.”
- “This means that sometimes gaps in pupils’ misconceptions are not addressed and tasks do not consistently meet some pupils’ needs.”
- “However, sometimes, the teaching of early writing lacks precision and is not delivered consistently well.”
