Strengths
- “Children in the early years thrive here.”
- “Leaders work closely with families when children join the nursery or Reception, so they quickly get to know them and identify any barriers they may have to their learning.”
- “Children often make significant and rapid progress from their starting points, including those who are disadvantaged.”
To improve
- “Pupils' experiences of school in the primary phase are more positive than in the secondary phase.”
- “This is not the case for a significant minority of pupils in the secondary phase.”
- “The curriculum is less ambitious, less well-planned and delivered less effectively.”
