Strengths

- “The staff deeply care for the pupils, who thrive in this harmonious and diverse community.”
- “The school has consistently high expectations and is ambitious for all pupils.”
To improve
- “However, in some foundation subjects, the curriculum is not sufficiently precise or well sequenced.”

- “However, occasionally there is some variation in how effectively pupils at the early stage of learning to read are supported.”
