Strengths
- “A strong sense of belonging underpins life at St Alban’s.”
- “Pupils feel safe and apply the school rules of ‘ready, respectful, safe’ in their everyday interactions.”
- “Events such as a recent ‘belonging week’ provide memorable and meaningful opportunities for pupils to celebrate individuality and respect difference.”
To improve
- “However, in the early stages of handwriting, staff do not always correct pupils’ errors in letter and number formation.”
- “As a result, some pupils continue to form letters and numbers inaccurately.”
