Strengths
- “Every day is used as an opportunity for pupils to ‘Bring it’, the trust’s aspirational value, in lessons and in their interactions around the school.”
- “Staff make lessons interesting, lively and meaningful.”
- “Pupils respond positively by trying their hardest, sharing their ideas and valuing the contributions of their peers.”
To improve
- “Nevertheless, the school knows there is more to do.”
- “However, the approach to helping pupils learn how to form letters and punctuate accurately and so write with fluency needs more attention.”
- “Sometimes, pupils are asked to write creatively before they have secured those basic skills.”
