Strengths
- “This is a very warm and friendly school.”
- “Every class elects a ‘kindness champion’, who is trained to resolve arguments and support anyone who feels angry or upset.”
- “They learn to recognise their feelings and make good choices about their behaviour.”
To improve
- “Occasionally, the school does not ensure that pupils in Years 1 to 6 have enough opportunities to practise what they have learned in sufficient depth before moving on.”
- “This makes it harder for pupils to consolidate their knowledge in their longterm memory.”
