Strengths

- “Pupils are known for their individual qualities.”

To improve
- “The school’s published data for writing in 2023 indicated that some pupils’ attainment at the end of Year 6 was significantly below the national average.”
- “While pupils typically learn extremely well in most subjects, pupils’ foundational knowledge and stamina in writing was hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic.”
- “However, the school has not gone far enough in identifying the key knowledge that pupils should gain.”
