Good Inspected 15 November 2022
Strengths
- “The school’s motto, ‘Making the heart, mind and spirit soar’, permeates daily routines.”
- “Attendance is excellent because pupils and children in the early years thoroughly enjoy coming to school.”
- “From the moment they start, they are surrounded by care, kindness and encouragement to aspire.”
To improve
- “In these cases, although the sequence of learning is clear, the small steps towards building skills and knowledge are not as well defined.”
- “However, occasionally, teachers do not know enough about what pupils have learned in previous years.”
- “This means that sometimes pupils do not learn as well as they could.”
