Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and excited to learn in this inclusive school.”
- “The school provides high levels of care.”
- “Children quickly settle into school life.”
To improve
- “However, some parts of the early years curriculum are not designed sequentially from when two-year-olds join Woodies.”
- “This means that sometimes, children do not encounter new knowledge coherently from Woodies to the end of Year 2.”
