Strengths
- “From the moment that children join in the early years, staff at this school get to know them well.”
- “This means that pupils feel valued and are treated as individuals.”
- “As a result, pupils are supported well, especially those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), where the help they receive is tailored to their needs.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes pupils do not have access to activities which best represent these ambitious goals or the resources they need to achieve them.”
- “For example, materials for some activities are left in cupboards and children are unsure of how to make use of activities that have been set up for them.”
- “However, it is not consistently delivered effectively.”
