Strengths
- “Pupils feel safe and love coming to this vibrant, busy school.”
- “The school’s ‘PRIDE’ values of purpose, respect, independence, determination and equality are understood and lived by all.”
- “There is an impressive culture of inclusion.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, planned opportunities for pupils to revisit their prior learning are less effective and their recall is not as secure.”
- “In 2023, the proportion of pupils at the end of key stage 2 who attained the expected standard in reading was below the national average.”
- “Pupils mostly display very positive attitudes to learning, although sometimes they lose focus in lessons where teachers have been less successful in helping pupils understand the purpose of their work.”
