Strengths

“Staff warmly welcome pupils and their families at the school gate each morning and help families with any issues they have.”
“This helps pupils to be ready to learn.”
“The school’s nurturing and caring ethos helps them to settle quickly.”

To improve

“However, in some subjects, teachers do not use this information well enough to provide pupils with work matched to what they can do.”
“For example, in writing, some younger pupils are asked to undertake complex writing tasks without mastering the basic writing skills first.”
“Consequently, pupils struggle with some tasks that they do not have the skills and knowledge to complete.”
