Strengths

- “Pupils are safe, eager to learn and enthusiastic about their education.”
- “Pupils are proud of their work and their achievements in the curriculum.”
To improve
- “In some parts of the curriculum, pupils who need help with reading are asked to write words that are too difficult for them.”
- “This can hinder their achievement.”
- “However, some of the school’s systems for checking which pupils need more urgent support with attendance are not as robust as they could be.”
