Strengths
- “Pupils are welcoming, friendly and proud of their thriving school.”
- “Expectations and ambitions are high for all.”
- “Behaviour is positive from early years to Year 6.”
To improve
- “Last year, fewer pupils than usual achieved exceptional standards in mathematics at the end of key stage 2.”
- “Across the school’s broad curriculum, lesson tasks are usually well designed, but adaptations are not always precise.”
- “This prevents some pupils, including pupils with SEND, from learning key content securely across the whole curriculum.”
