Strengths
- “The school prioritises the personal development and inclusion of pupils.”
- “This prepares them for their academic learning, and for the future.”
- “This blends harmoniously together to create a community that pupils love.”
To improve
- “Although cohorts perform below national averages for the phonics screening check, as well as in the end of key stage 2 assessments, pupils of all ages do make secure progress through the school's full curriculum.”
- “Pupils' attitudes to learning during lessons are very positive, although this active engagement wanes slightly in some younger classes.”
- “In some classes this needs to embed further so that all pupils receive highly effective teaching more consistently.”
