Strengths
- “This Church of England school is welcoming, nurturing and inclusive.”
- “Staff ensure that all pupils, including those in the special educational needs (SEN) unit and the school's inclusion base, feel safe, happy and ready to learn.”
- “Pupils are benefiting from improvements to the curriculum and teaching that have been made since the school joined the Lighthouse Schools Partnership.”
To improve
- “However, too many pupils do not benefit fully from these improvements because they do not attend regularly.”
- “Others miss the welcome at the start of the day because they arrive late.”
- “Nevertheless, over time, too many pupils have not achieved well in national tests and assessments.”
