Strengths
- “Pupils at this school are happy and well cared for.”
- “They thrive in a nurturing environment where they feel safe and valued.”
- “Pupils trust the adults in school to help them whenever they face concerns or worries.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, the activities that pupils undertake do not consistently help them to achieve the aims of the highly ambitious curriculum.”
- “Consequently, pupils do not achieve as well as they could in these subjects.”
- “The school’s published outcomes for 2024 show that the proportion of pupils who met the expected standards in reading and mathematics in key stage 2 was below the national average.”
