Strengths
- “The school motto of ‘being the best that we can be’ drives everything that leaders do.”
- “This ethos embodies leaders’ ambitions and captures the spirit of togetherness that has been created.”
- “The improvements that have been made in recent years show the determination that leaders have to bring out the best in everyone.”
To improve
- “However, not all staff develop children’s communication and language skills during free choice activities as well as they might.”
- “They do not always take opportunities to check and extend knowledge and vocabulary when children are playing.”
- “However, this is not the case in all areas of the curriculum.”
