Strengths

“Pupils enjoy attending school.”
“Pupils know that they can talk to an adult if they have any worries.”
“Staff know pupils well and provide care and support when they are facing difficulties.”

To improve

“However, the new curriculum does not take account of the gaps in knowledge that some pupils retain from the previous curriculum.”
“Consequently, not all learning is well matched to what pupils know and can do.”
“However, the legacy of a weaker curriculum is that some older pupils do not read well enough.”
