Strengths
- “The school is highly inclusive and welcomes all pupils.”
- “Adults build warm and kind relationships, creating a nurturing environment where pupils feel safe and valued.”
- “The school has high expectations for pupils.”
To improve
- “This has resulted in some pupils not achieving as well as they could in statutory assessments.”
- “However, for some pupils in key stage 2, gaps in writing skills are not identified and addressed as effectively as in early years and key stage 1.”
- “This is because these children are moved on too quickly without sufficient focus on basic skills over time.”
