Strengths
- “Pupils value the way older and younger children play and learn side by side.”
- “When a new pupil arrives, they make friends straight away, and those friendships last throughout their time at the school.”
- “Older pupils take pride in setting a good example to the younger ones.”
To improve
- “The proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in writing by the end of key stage 2 has been comparatively low in recent years.”
- “Some of the most able pupils do not produce writing that reflects the depth of which they are capable.”
- “While this work continues, the school's consistent way of teaching is still becoming established in some classes.”
