Strengths
- “Pupils are friendly, well-mannered and respectful.”
- “They speak about their school with happiness and immense pride.”
- “They embody the school’s values in the care that they show for each other.”
To improve
- “However, the learning environment in the early years is not carefully considered to support the taught curriculum.”
- “For example, there are few opportunities for children to experience and grapple with mathematics in a real or practical sense.”
- “However, other parts of the writing curriculum require further strengthening.”
