Strengths
- “‘Where we grow’ is the school’s motto and pupils live up to this expectation.”
- “They grow in learning, independence and resilience.”
- “Pupils from Nursery to Year 2 progress well through the curriculum.”
To improve
- “In a small minority of subject areas, the school has not clearly identified the essential knowledge that they want pupils to learn and when.”
- “However, in some subjects, staff have not been able to accurately check what pupils have learned over time.”
- “This means that teachers find it more difficult to spot and address any gaps in pupils’ learning.”
