Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to be part of a happy, caring school community.”
- “They know there is always a trusted member of staff to speak to if they have any concerns.”
- “Bullying is rare but, if it happens, staff deal with it quickly and effectively.”
To improve
- “In some cases, the choices about what to teach when, and how to teach it, are not as effective in ensuring that all pupils learn the intended knowledge.”
- “In some cases, other early writing skills, such as developing an effective pencil hold, need more focus.”
- “Some pupils do not develop the writing fluency they need in a timely way to make progress in other subjects as they move through school.”
