Strengths
- “Familiar morning routines set the positive tone for the day.”
- “Staff on the gate and at the classroom doors greet pupils by name and with a welcoming smile.”
- “They are ready to hear what is going on in pupils’ lives beyond school, answer parents’ and carers’ questions and sort out any worries.”
To improve
- “Occasionally, learning activities are not pitched at the right level.”
- “The school’s practice of encouraging pupils to ‘think out loud’ to check their understanding is not fully embedded.”
- “Pupils have not necessarily got off to the best start learning to read in the recent past.”
