Strengths
- “The school has begun to raise expectations for what pupils can achieve and how they should behave.”
- “Significant changes that began in the summer term of the previous academic year are beginning to have a positive impact.”
- “These refinements are having a more substantial impact on how pupils behave and how they treat each other.”
To improve
- “However, some pupils do not achieve as well as they should.”
- “However, the curriculum in early years, and how well it is understood and delivered by adults, does not prepare children for Year 1 as well as it should.”
- “However, staff do not make the most appropriate activity choices to help pupils learn.”
