Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to this happy and welcoming school.”
- “Staff greet pupils with a warm smile and take time to find out how they are.”
- “This creates a positive start to the day.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes teaching staff do not check sharply enough what pupils know and remember, and this means some pupils develop gaps in their learning.”
- “In 2023, the published outcomes for achievement in mathematics at the end of Year 6 were disappointing.”
