Strengths
- “Its vision of ‘with strong roots we learn and grow together’ fully comes to life.”
- “The school’s expectations of pupils are high.”
- “This helps them to feel happy and secure.”
To improve
- “In addition, the school identified that children’s speaking and listening skills on entry were low.”
- “However, on some occasions pupils make errors with their letter formation which go unaddressed.”
- “Furthermore, while teachers make checks on what pupils can do from their recent learning, further work is needed to ensure that this is effective.”
