Strengths
- “Pupils like attending this small happy school.”
- “There is a warm ‘family feel’.”
- “Children learn the routines and the high expectations of the school right from the start.”
To improve
- “However, there are occasions when teaching does not enable pupils to get the immediate help they need if they make errors in lessons or get stuck.”
- “Also, at times, teaching does not prioritise more complex subject content as soon as pupils are ready to learn it.”
- “Some pupils do not apply their phonic knowledge to spell accurately.”
