Strengths
- “This is a school where care and support for pupils and their families are at the centre of every action that staff take.”
- “Pupils are encouraged to be ‘pioneers’, and they show respect and kindness to each other in abundance.”
- “The school ensures that pupils, including those who join at points other than the beginning of the academic year, feel welcome.”
To improve
- “However, pupils in key stages 1 and 2 do not routinely benefit from high-quality opportunities to develop their writing skills across the curriculum.”
- “As a result, pupils do not develop their writing stamina as well as they could.”
- “Their work sometimes includes errors in spelling, punctuation and grammar that teachers do not consistently address.”
