Strengths
- “Pupils smile broadly as they walk happily into school.”
- “They rise to the high expectations set in this warm and welcoming environment.”
- “Most pupils achieve well, personally and academically, especially in their writing.”
To improve
- “Occasionally, however, activities are not as closely matched as they could be to what pupils know and can do.”
- “This means that, sometimes, a few pupils’ learning slows as they wait for others to catch up.”
- “In a few subjects beyond English and mathematics, ongoing curriculum changes are more recent.”
