Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to attend this school and feel confident that adults will always support them when needed.”
- “They develop self-confidence, as staff help them learn to be resilient and foster a strong belief in themselves.”
- “Staff encourage pupils to express their feelings, and their well-being is a high priority.”
To improve
- “These improvements have highlighted gaps in pupils’ subject-specific knowledge and vocabulary and the need to carefully map knowledge and vocabulary from the early years.”
- “These gaps and some missed foundational learning mean that some pupils do not have the subject-specific knowledge and vocabulary to complete learning tasks well.”
- “This is because some pupils take longer to develop essential reading skills.”
