Strengths
- “Pupils are at the heart of everything this school does.”
- “This is because leaders ensure that pupils develop a deep understanding of the school’s HEART values.”
- “For example, pupils can explain the meaning of values such as ‘aspire’, saying this is being able to reach your potential.”
To improve
- “That said, pupils in key stage 1 do not have enough opportunities to build skills in spelling, punctuation and handwriting.”
- “This means that teachers in key stage 2 have to help pupils secure these.”
- “On occasion, however, these are not fully effective.”
