Strengths
- “Staff have high expectations for pupils’ achievement and behaviour.”
- “Pupils behave well as a result.”
- “The school’s virtues, ‘be attentive, be just, be loving, be wise, be courageous’, contribute to pupils’ positive behaviour.”
To improve
- “However, some aspects of the school’s writing curriculum are not as securely in place as they need to be.”
- “Sometimes, for example, the handwriting skills that pupils need to write accurately and fluently are not taught well enough.”
- “For instance, teaching does not consistently address pupils’ poor pencil grip or inaccurate letter formation.”
